Behind Thai Amaranth: Thailand’s Next Global Superfood

Thai Amaranth was developed under the “Happy Harvest” initiative by Value Sourcing Co., Ltd. (VSC), in collaboration with The Siam Forestry Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SCGP. The partnership was initially formed to strengthen the spinach supply chain for Reo’s Deli, VSC’s flagship ready-to-eat food brand.

What began as a small-scale supply solution has evolved into a shared mission—to maximize the value of every part of the amaranth. Through innovation, Thai Amaranth offers a high-value functional ingredient with standout features, including:

• Superfood by Nature – Rich in folate, fiber, plant protein, and flavonoids
• 100% Natural Green Colorant – Clean-label replacement for synthetic additives
• Versatile formats – for beverages, supplements,for bakery, sauces
• Formulated for clean-label recipes —Thai Amaranth offers functional benefits that stand on their own
• Matcha-like flavor with natural green color

The partnership leverages SCGP’s well-established expertise in sustainable supply chain management and agricultural research and development, ensuring that Thai Amaranth is cultivated under a system that is not only climate-adaptive but also reliable, traceable, and scalable. Every stage—from seed selection and GAP-certified contract farming to zero-waste processing—is designed to meet the demands of both domestic and international markets with consistency, transparency, and safety.

Planting Prosperity with Thai Amaranth

In addition to operating under a guaranteed purchase contract farming model, Thai Amaranth is guided by a broader vision to empower Thai farmers—through increased income opportunities, continuous agricultural training, and hands-on cultivation support.

Together with Siam Forestry, VSC has set a target to expand Thai amaranth cultivation from 42 rai today to 1,200 rai by 2027. This scale-up is expected to generate an average monthly income of THB 15,000 per rai. The initiative is designed to strengthen income security for Thai farmers, especially as they face increasing challenges from climate change.

“Thai Amaranth is a new model for inclusive rural development. Not only does it offer stable income, but also integration of Thai farmers into the global food value chain,” said Mr. Chana Vasuvat. “We believe true growth must happen across the entire system—from upstream producers to end consumers, and in harmony with the environment.”
