A LOVE STORY
Our love story 
began when we first tasted an amazing
black rice 
during our travels in China 
. It was called “tribute rice”, or “longevity rice” because it was reserved for Chinese Emperors 
to ensure their good health and long life. That story, then became our story...

Organic White & Brown Jasmine Rice
about
COFE grew out of pioneering work by the Cambodian NGO CEDAC to improve farmers’ food security and health by showing farmers how to grow more rice without toxic agrochemicals using System of Rice Intensification (More Crop Per Drop®). When formerly food-deficit farmers began producing surplus rice CEDAC organized them into organic cooperatives to sell their traditional jasmine. Lotus Foods was COFE’s first international buyer and sources organic and fair trade jasmine rice from them to this day. Fair trade premiums have been invested by communities to dig wells and ponds, buy milling equipment and even build a community store and meeting center.
