A direct-sale market for certified organic farmers, set up in 2006 on the That Luang esplanade by the project behind the national organic standard. It is run by the Capital's organic farming group, with its own head, treasurer and committee; in 2020 some 300 families supplied it at three sales points. The guarantee is the state label, not a participatory system, and each move has cost it customers. No source after 2021 says where it is held.
