A harvest should create opportunity.

Harvest should bring opportunity. But debt and pressure to sell can leave farming families with little room to move.

The Fair Market Project’s published model pays 10% above the prevailing market price for rice paddy. Local teams store, mill and sell the crop, with a portion of profits supporting training and community projects.
