Results revealed that the highest level of food security dimension among rice farming households was 'food accessibility' and 'food availability,' followed by 'food utilization and safety,' and 'food stability', respectively. Regarding food security promotion among rice-farming households, the highest level was 'intra-household understanding related to household food security', followed by 'having a supplementary occupation', 'enhancing social support', and 'self-reliance'. The regression analysis using the stepwise method revealed that off-farm income had a positive effect on household food security, whereas household debt was found to be negatively associated with household food security. Moreover, the structural equation model analysis indicated that intra-household understanding related to food security directly and positively influenced household food security. Furthermore, intra-household understanding related to food security had a positive and indirect effect on household food security through social support in the local community, enhancing supplementary household occupation, and household self-reliance, respectively.

The weedy rice might be encountered at farming equipment. By repeatedly cultivation, the same type of production was done time to time.

The full mill capacity is 1.2 ton of paddy per day. The service charge rate is one Thai baht per kilogram. The cooperative has produced rice in both packaging and non-packaging for sale to consumers by themselves. Regarding the SWOT analysis results, concerning the strengths, the cooperative rice mill was royal patronage that can provide inexpensive milling service charge for farmers. Additionally, operation staff had experience in rice milling for a long time. Whilst the weaknesses were the rice mill without checked the quality of paddy before milling-process and did not have the specialized technicians to repair a milling machine as well as budget deficit. In terms of the opportunities, the rice mill had a wide range of support from organizations of budgeting, staff, and administration. Moreover, farmers was preferred consuming rice grown by their own. Finally, the threats were the rice mill which located in a non-rice-farming area, and it operated less than the full milling capacity. The collaboration with supply chain partners should be encouraged to increase the quantity of paddy for the milling process.
