River
Kwai International was founded with the aim of producing canned
fruits and vegetables for export. After a successful start, but
due to an increasing number of canneries in the same field, in 1993
RKI decided to concentrate on the development of canned sweet corn.
The company identified the 'ATS' hybrid as being suitable for cultivation
in a tropical country like Thailand. The 'ATS' hybrid was developed
by Dr. Taweesak Pulam, a renowned specialist in plant genetics.
It has since been accepted worldwide as one of the better crispy
types of sweet corn.
The
tropical climate of Thailand permits year round cultivation of sweet
corn (vs. a two month growing season in the U.S. and Europe). Year
round cultivation, producing as many as three crops per year, contributes
not only to the efficiency to the factory through a constant infeed
of raw material but also to the freshness of products to consumers.

RKI
is the largest producer of canned sweet corn kernels in Thailand
with a capacity of 2,000 containers per annum, over 95% of which
is exported.

River
Kwai International introduced sterilized corn on the cob in vacuum-sealed
plastic bags (sometimes referred as retort pouch) to the Japanese
market in 1996. This innovative packaging meets the consumer's demand
as an alternative. Corn on the cob is convenient to bring along
for picnics to be served as a snack while kernel corn in pouches
is a substitute for the canned product and easily disposable after
opening.
Currently,
RKI has expanded the market for retort pouch to serve consumers
in South America, Europe and other Asian countries as well.
