Organic fair trade rice from India

Project Fair & Good

Ensuring the future with responsible action

In 1997, we added the first organic rice to our range. 5 years later, we began to procure fairtrade rice, first from Thailand, a year later from India. We are convinced that sustainable rice is the best choice for both producers and consumers. And because we believe that the combination of organic and fairtrade is ideal, we launched a unique project in 2011: the 'fair & good' sustainability project in India and Thailand. This project is also supported by Coop, Helvetas and other partners.
