Monarda prides itself in sourcing and distributing one of the oldest crops in the world. Rice has been documented as one of the oldest sources of food and nutrition known to man. Its cultivation began as far back as 2500 BC from China, and spread to Sri Lanka, India and adjoining lands before being introduced in Europe. In mythology, it is the gift of the gods and the savior crop of mankind.
As a responsible sourcer and seller of rice, Monarda sources only the most sustainable strains of rice.These include certified fully sustainable rice fields across Thailand. Our rice products use both the Oryzasativa (Asian rice) sourced from India, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam.
It is through our end-to-end supply chain management that Asian rice reaches Europe and Africa, where rice is the primary source of dietary calories. As a source of livelihood, rice is an entry point towards poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa. Monarda provides Asian rice farmers competitive prices and seamless support to retrieve, package and ship their product to the world.
