"Chihshang Rice" is a co-branding and major source of income, consumers' confidence would certainly affect the farmers' livelihood. "Three guarantees" is printed on the front of the packaging bag to reassure the consumers. Detailed descriptions on "how to choose quality rice" and the standard procedure for cooking tasty rice could be found at the back. The descriptions reveal that rice merchants do not merely concern about the quality of rice, but they also view rice as professionalism and a kind of art. |
