Mr. Khamphou Phanthaboun began his journey in organic farming with no training. Like many farmers, he relied on traditional farming practices and learned through experience.
In 2004-2005, with support from the Helvetas organic agriculture project, Mr. Khamphou established a organic garden at his home. Through hands-on learning and continuous practice, he developed skills in organic farming and sharing his knowledge with other farmers, earning the trust and respect of his community and becoming a local leader in organic agriculture.
The project also helped establish the Non-Tae Organic Agriculture Production Group in 2006, which started with just 7 households. As demand for organic products grew, more farmers joined the group. To maintain quality, the Department of Agriculture conducts random inspections every two months.
Although the Helvetas project ended in 2021, the Non-Tae Organic Agriculture Production Group continues to grow independently. Mr. Khamphou’s journey shows how continuous learning, strong leadership, and community cooperation can create lasting change and inspire to others.
