More than 25,000 families are Angkor Rice's members and
growing Neang Malis rice for us this year. Since there
are no middlemen, Angkor Rice has the control of the entire
rice production process.
To become a member, each farmer enters into an agreement
with Angkor Rice to closely follow our instructions and
grow only our grains.
At the start of planting season in July, staffs from
Angkor Rice's Agriculture Division distribute the high
quality grains to members. For total quality assurance,
the farmers are not allowed to plant their own grains;
only our Neang Malis rice is grown in the members' fields.
During the growing season, Angkor Rice's staffs regularly
visit the rice paddies to provide additional instructions
and support to the members. As a result, any problem that
may arise can be fixed in a timely manner.
At the end of the year, the members harvest the crop
and bring it to the rice mill, where our quality-control
team checks the quality of rice grains and selects only
those that meet our high standard will be processed at
the rice mill so that only the best rice will reach our
customers.
