Organic Rice Bran Oil

Remember the new rice bran oil press that Rice Fund invested in back in October?

Well, it's been up and running for a month and a half now, and after a lot of quality control work and an inspection from Organic Agriculture Certification Thailand (ACT), we've got a finished product! Sales have gotten off to a solid start, as local consumers (and a few big orders from Bangkok) have been impressed by it's antioxidants' effectiveness. Our "Organic Rice Bran Oil" is the latest product developed by Rice Fund and SFS and we hope for it to be a solid source of funds for SFS project.

Plus, the "waste product" of compressed rice bran chips are still of perfectly good use to Rice Fund members. P' Kanya has been mixing them into her organic pig feed - these little guys below have so much energy! Maybe some of those antioxidants are carrying over in the bran chips?
