Pracha Pak Dee is a Hmong community located in the high hills separating Laos from Thailand. Beyond raising corn and mountain rice, farmers in this area raise pigs and grow cauliflower to sell at Thai markets on the plains of Chiang Rai below.
However, most of the poorer farmers only have enough liquidity to grow one crop of corn/rice per year. Any farming beyond that would involve taking out a loan or finding a new source of water.
