The Kaipad system of rice cultivation is an integrated organic farming system in which rice cultivation and aquaculture coexist in coastal brackish water marshes which is rich in organic matter. Kaipad rice received GI tag in 2014 due to its peculiarities. Neither chemical/organic fertilizers nor plant protection chemicals are used in rice tracts as there is no pest and disease incidence. Kaipad rice has excellent cooking qualities and the cooked rice is very tasty. The nutritive value of Kaipad rice is enormous with good content of iron, calcium and potassium. The medicinal value of Kaipad rice makes it a suitable meal during illness for a speedy recovery.
Rice flakes of Kaipad rice contain bran of rice unlike milled rice, thus the nutritive value of rice flakes available at Kaipad tract which is naturally an organic tract is imperative. Kaipad rice & its value-added products like rice flakes, puttu flour & noolputtu flour are being exported for the first time from Kerala to UAE sourced from a farmer producer organisation (FPO) of Kerala named Malabar Kaipad Farmers Society based in Kannur.
