Core offering

ITDF is a Thailand-registered NGO that delivers integrated community development programs — water and sanitation infrastructure, education and schools, agricultural extension, and women's cooperatives — to hill tribe villages across northern Thailand. Its commercial revenue stream is the Thai Tribal Arabica Coffee Production & Marketing Cooperative, Thailand's first fair-trade certified coffee co-op, which produces and sells specialty green coffee beans to enterprise roasters (including Starbucks) and roasted coffee through Lanna Café and US partner Lanna Coffee Co.

Product overview

ITDF is an NGO operating as a multi-program development organization rather than a single unified software product. Its core offerings consist of five interconnected development programs: the Water Resource and Sanitation Development Program (WRSDP) for clean water infrastructure; the Education and Social Development Program (ESDP) for schools and health clinics; the Thai Tribal Arabica Coffee Production and Marketing Cooperative (TTACPMC), Thailand's first fair-trade certified coffee co-op; the Agricultural Extension and Marketing Development Program (AEMDP) for micro-enterprise; and the Hands To Heart Women's Cooperative (HHWCP) for women's entrepreneurship. These programs are complemented by Lanna Café (retail coffee outlet in Chiang Mai), the Sustainable Development Internship program, and green bean product sales to buyers like Starbucks.

• Cooperative Coffees: Green-bean importing cooperative owned by dozens of small specialty roasters, sourcing exclusively from small-scale farmer cooperatives with transparent, long-term relationships. Closely mirrors ITDF's cooperative-based, fair-trade specialty model.
• Equal Exchange: US-based fair-trade coffee cooperative sourcing from small farmer cooperatives worldwide. Highly comparable as a fair-trade coffee aggregator that supplies specialty roasters with traceable, story-driven single-origin lots under a cooperative governance model.
• Akha Ama Coffee: Thailand-based specialty coffee roaster and café founded by an Akha hill tribe member, sourcing directly from hill tribe farmers. Operates a similar fair-trade, hill tribe-empowerment model and competes in the same Thai specialty Arabica market as ITDF's cooperative.
