The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to align on strategies that will connect farmers, millers, and exporters through the adoption of SRP standards and tools. By working together, SRP and TREA aim to scale farmer training, enhance verification systems, and expand access to sustainable rice across both domestic and international markets.

This partnership underscores SRP’s mission to drive positive transformation across the rice value chain. By bringing together stakeholders at every stage – from farmers in the field to exporters and global consumers – SRP ensures that sustainability is not just a concept, but a practical pathway to impact.

As Thailand remains one of the world’s leading rice exporters, embedding sustainability into its rice sector creates multiple benefits:

• For farmers: improved livelihoods, productivity, and resilience to climate change.
  
• For exporters: stronger market access, traceability, and brand credibility.
  
• For consumers and the global market: assurance of responsibly produced rice that meets international sustainability standards.
  

The collaboration with TREA also highlights SRP’s unique role as a global multi-stakeholder alliance, offering a platform where business, government, and civil society work hand-in-hand to achieve shared goals. With partners worldwide and growing momentum across diverse markets, SRP continues to open doors for organizations that seek not only to strengthen their business but also to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient rice sector.
