Introduction:
In the world of sustainable agriculture, there are few stories as compelling as that of Ludda Nanchalee and her enterprise, the Oasis Family. This tale, which unfolded at the Thaifex Anuga Asia trade fair 2023, offers valuable lessons in innovation, resilience, and growth, aligning closely with the ethos of PM360 Consult.
The Tale of Sustainable Agriculture:
Surin province, Thailand, a land blessed with the perfect conditions for growing jasmine rice, is home to Oasis Family, a group dedicated to the production and export of organic rice. Their journey in organic farming and fair-trade practices culminated in the receipt of both organic and fair-trade certifications, reinforcing their commitment to quality and sustainability.
The Power of Learning:
One of the key factors in the Oasis Family’s success has been their dedication to continuous learning and adaptability. They leveraged knowledge-building workshops offered by the International Trade Centre (ITC) to keep abreast with changing EU regulations. This proactive learning approach helped them adjust their Internal Control System (ICS) and continue to thrive in the organic farming business. The Oasis Family’s journey underlines the importance of learning and adaptability in the face of new challenges.
Diversification and Innovation:
Embracing diversification as part of their growth strategy, Oasis Family expanded their product line beyond Red Jasmine Rice and Black Fragrant Rice to include the production of green beans. This move signals the importance of diversification in enhancing business resilience and growth.
Networking and Expansion:
Thaifex Anuga Asia trade fair 2023, one of the leading platforms for SMEs from the ASEAN region, provided a unique opportunity for Oasis Family to enhance their market access, network, and capacity-building. Their participation, supported by ARISE Plus Thailand, was a significant milestone, reinforcing the role of such global events in amplifying business exposure and creating expansion opportunities.
Conclusion:
The journey of Oasis Family serves as an inspiring reminder for all entrepreneurs that with dedication, continuous learning, and a sustainable approach, it's possible to overcome challenges and reach greater heights. The lessons from their journey, we believe, align closely with the values we uphold at PM360 Consult.
