Name Agroecology, through and beyond markets : The case of Khao Kai Noi rice in the Lao PDR
Description

In the main plains of the Lao PDR’s central and southern provinces, farming systems have intensified (Newby et al. 2013, Cramb 2020). While rice has for long been a staple crop (Cole and Rigg 2019), government policies have promoted the expansion of cultivated areas, mechanization and the introduction of new varieties. Meanwhile, the trading and milling sectors tend to concentrate. In the mountainous province of Xieng Khouang (XKH) however, rice production is still largely subsistence oriented. Transplantation and harvest are still overwhelmingly done manually. Farmers grow Khao Kai Noi (KKN) rice, accounting for more than 50% of the total rice production in the province. KKN is an endemic variety prized for its unique organoleptic qualities. The government has supported KKN commercialization through organic certification and the development of a Geographical Indication (GI). However, are these standard based strategies effective? How can they be coherent with market changes driven by growing urban demand and value chain transformations?
