Urmatt

Urmatt has been a dominant force in organic agriculture in Thailand for over two decades, operating through Urmatt Ltd. as an integrated producer and exporter of organic rice. The firm's supply chain spans seed selection, farming, milling, and distribution, targeting wholesale buyers in Asia and beyond. No founder names or wealth-origin details are publicly disclosed. The firm focuses exclusively on organic rice cultivation and processing, managing varieties including white jasmine, brown jasmine, long grain, red, black, glutinous, and parboiled rice. It also produces organic rice bran, rice flour, and rice cakes. Urmatt is the largest producer of organic jasmine rice in Thailand, and exports primarily to Asia. The firm controls its production from seed to shipment, maintaining EU-equivalent organic certification (ECOCERT) and Naturland Fair Premium status. Urmatt employs approximately 58 professionals according to its public materials, and operates out of Bangkok with no disclosed additional offices. The firm is a certified B Corporation and has aligned with the Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) Bronze Level, inspected by ECOCERT. In 2021, it obtained Naturland Fair certification from Ecocert (per firm website, 2021). The firm's governance includes stakeholder considerations for farmers, employees, and the environment. Urmatt's structural differentiator is its fully integrated, seed-to-ship organic supply chain in Thailand, owning the entire value chain from farming to export. This vertical integration, combined with multiple certifications (B Corp, Naturland Fair, ROC), gives it a unique position among family offices focused on sustainable agriculture.
