Abstract

This research has the objective to study demographic characteristics, organic rice cultivation methods and value chain attitudes on operational efficiency of the organic rice industry in Thailand. The study was conducted from a sample of 300 participants involved in the organic rice industry in Thailand. Data were analyzed by using statistical packages (SPSS) including confirmation element analysis (CFA), path analysis and structural equation model analysis (SEM). The results of the study demonstrate that the demographic characteristics of the farmers, organic rice cultivation methods and value chain attitudes influence operational efficiency of the organic rice industry in Thailand.
