The Cluster Module & Sub-Module Architecture
The Cluster Module & Sub-Module Architecture
Jasminex is engineered as a modular, province-based infrastructure platform designed for the production and export of Traceable Organic Jasmine Rice.
The platform architecture is built on standardized operational units (“Sub-Modules”) that aggregate into structured Clusters. Each cluster operates under a ring-fenced Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), enabling disciplined expansion, isolated risk management, and institutional-grade governance.
Jasminex is not designed as a volume-driven trading operation. It is structured as a replicable infrastructure system where growth is achieved through controlled addition of standardized production units.
A Sub-Module is the fundamental operational unit of the Jasminex platform.
Each Sub-Module integrates:
2,000 rai of contract-farmed Organic Jasmine cultivation
Dedicated paddy intake and storage allocation
Quarantine buffer capacity
Dedicated milled rice storage bin
Campaign-based milling allocation
Lot-level traceability protocol
Each Sub-Module is designed to generate approximately:
500–600 tons of milled Organic Jasmine Rice per year
Sub-Modules are standardized across engineering, agronomy governance, quality control, and reporting structure.
This standardization enables disciplined scaling without redesign.
A Cluster Module consists of 8–10 Sub-Modules operating under one integrated infrastructure system.
Cluster #1 (Pilot – Phase 1) begins with 8 Sub-Modules and is expandable to 10 within the same footprint.
A Cluster includes:
Centralized cleaning and pre-processing system
30–40 tons/day rice milling line
Segregated paddy and milled rice storage
Integrated electrical and PLC control systems
Quality testing and packaging facilities
Each Cluster operates as a self-contained production and financial unit.
Clusters are structured to:
Operate independently
Maintain segregated lot traceability
Support project-level financing
Isolate operational risk
Provincial expansion follows a structured model.
After pilot validation, Jasminex expands province-by-province based on:
Farmer readiness
Organic certification stability
Offtake demand
Financial performance thresholds
Provincial roll-out is categorized as:
Small province: up to 2 Clusters
Medium province: up to 3 Clusters
Large province: up to 4 Clusters
Each province replicates the same Cluster blueprint without structural redesign.
The Jasminex platform is built on a standardized engineering and governance template.
This template defines:
Land zoning configuration
Intake and storage capacity ratios
Milling throughput specification
Working capital assumptions
Agronomy governance protocols
Quality assurance standards
Reporting and ESG framework
Because each Cluster is engineered from the same template:
Engineering risk decreases over time
Construction timelines shorten in future phases
Procurement efficiencies increase
Operational performance becomes predictable
Financial modeling accuracy improves
This blueprint-driven approach transforms expansion from a greenfield design process into a repeatable deployment model.
Each Cluster operates under its own Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
This structure enables:
Project-level debt financing
Ring-fenced balance sheets
Isolated operational exposure
Defined dividend flows
Transparent financial reporting
The corporate hierarchy is structured as:
Jasminex Holding B.V. (Netherlands – EU HoldCo)
→ Jasminex Thailand Holding Co., Ltd.
→ Cluster SPVs
This structure supports:
Institutional governance
DFI participation
Risk isolation
IPO readiness
Under this model, performance risk of one cluster does not structurally impair other clusters or the group-level holding entity.
Jasminex expansion is incremental and demand-driven.
Instead of doubling capacity, growth occurs through:
Addition of one Sub-Module at a time
Triggers for expansion include:
Utilization exceeding 70–75%
Forward offtake agreements secured
Stable debt service coverage
Verified agronomy compliance
Working capital stability
This incremental expansion model provides:
Controlled capital deployment
Reduced overcapacity risk
Operational learning transfer
Predictable cash flow scaling
Expansion discipline is central to maintaining institutional credibility.
Each Cluster is designed according to a defined layout logic.
The site is divided into functional zones:
Paddy Intake & Weighbridge Zone
Cleaning & Pre-Processing Zone
Paddy Storage Zone (segregated per Sub-Module)
Quarantine Buffer Zone
Milling Zone
Milled Rice Storage Zone
Packaging & Dispatch Zone
Administration & Quality Control Zone
This zoning ensures linear material flow and prevents cross-contamination.
The operational flow follows a structured sequence:
Paddy intake (lot-coded)
Quality inspection and moisture verification
Allocation to designated paddy storage bin
Campaign-based milling per Sub-Module
Allocation to dedicated milled storage
Packaging and export dispatch
Blending across Sub-Modules is avoided during the pilot phase to maintain identity preservation.
The flow design supports:
Organic compliance
Traceability audits
Lot segregation
Operational efficiency
Each Sub-Module includes:
One primary paddy storage allocation
Quarantine buffer allocation
One milled rice storage allocation
This one-to-one allocation model simplifies traceability and accounting.
Jasminex expansion is structured over a 10-year horizon.
Develop and stabilize Cluster #1
Validate export channels
Establish operational benchmarks
Expand to 2–3 additional provinces
Add 1 cluster per year
Increase sub-modules per cluster gradually
Provincial coverage based on rice-producing capacity
Small provinces: 2 clusters
Medium provinces: 3 clusters
Large provinces: 4 clusters
Each new Cluster replicates the same standardized blueprint.
Expansion is conditional on:
Market absorption
Capital availability
Operational performance metrics
This structured replication strategy transforms Jasminex from a pilot infrastructure project into a scalable national platform.

The Jasminex agronomy framework is designed as a governed contract farming system integrating standardized organic protocols, seed management discipline, lot-level traceability, and institutional-quality documentation.
Cluster (Module) #1 integrates 10 farmer groups, each structured as a cooperative or community enterprise, operating under long-term contract farming agreements.
The agronomy model prioritizes:
Predictable yield
Organic compliance integrity
Identity preservation
Supply stability
Institutional audit readiness
Jasminex does not operate as a spot-market paddy purchaser.
It operates as a structured supply platform built on contractual governance.
Each Sub-Module corresponds to one farmer group cultivating approximately 2,000 rai under structured agreement.
Each group:
Signs annual contract farming agreement
Commits to organic compliance
Receives certified seed under Seed Advance Model
Follows defined agronomy SOP
Delivers harvest under lot-coded intake
Jasminex provides:
Agronomy supervision
Seed planning
Field record templates
Harvest moisture standards
Purchase price framework aligned with market
This governance model aligns farmer incentives with supply stability and export-grade quality standards.
Jasminex implements a Seed Advance Model, not a free seed distribution system.
Key principles:
Certified Organic Jasmine seed is supplied under advance agreement
Seed cost is documented and reconciled at harvest
Farmers commit to structured output delivery
Seed traceability is documented per sub-module
This prevents:
Seed leakage
Informal redistribution
Loss of varietal consistency
Traceability breakdown
The objective is varietal purity and yield predictability.
Seed distribution is conditional, contractual, and recorded.
Jasminex applies standardized Organic Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across all participating farmer groups.
The Organic SOP includes:
Field preparation guidelines
Approved input lists
Fertility management protocols
Water management recommendations
Harvest timing criteria
Moisture control standards
Post-harvest handling procedures
All farmers maintain:
Field record logs
Input purchase documentation
Planting date records
Harvest date records
Yield declarations
These records are digitized where feasible and stored centrally for audit readiness.
Farmer onboarding follows a structured process.
Land verification
Organic eligibility assessment
Farmer group documentation
Soil suitability review
Output commitment agreement
Seed advance agreement
Compliance declaration
Quality acceptance criteria
Certified Organic Jasmine seed distribution
Seed batch coding
Documentation per sub-module
Organic compliance training
Field record instruction
Harvest moisture targets
Post-harvest handling protocol
Scheduled farm visits
Compliance checks
Advisory support
Moisture verification
Lot coding at intake
Quality inspection
Allocation to designated paddy bin
This step-by-step governance ensures standardization across all 10 farmer groups.
Jasminex operates under a strict lot-level traceability framework.
Each Sub-Module is assigned a unique production code.
Traceability process:
Seed batch identification
Field record registration
Harvest lot declaration
Intake lot coding
Paddy storage allocation per sub-module
Campaign milling scheduling
Milled rice storage allocation
Export batch mapping
No cross-blending occurs during the pilot phase.
Sampling protocols include:
Moisture testing at intake
Foreign matter testing
Broken rice ratio analysis
Random quality sampling during milling
Final export batch sampling
All records are archived in an audit-ready system.
Audit trail includes:
Farmer ID
Field plot data
Seed batch reference
Storage bin reference
Milling campaign reference
Export container reference
This traceability structure supports organic certification, DFI compliance expectations, and potential future carbon verification.
Although export remains the primary focus, Jasminex allocates 5–10% of production to domestic channels.
Domestic strategy includes:
White-label partnerships with recognized public figures or influencers
Controlled pilot of Jasminex own brand
Limited retail channel testing
Domestic allocation serves several strategic purposes:
Market diversification
Brand validation
Cash flow smoothing
Reputation building within Thailand
Domestic expansion remains disciplined and secondary to export stability.
Jasminex mitigates agronomy risk through:
Multi-group structure (10 independent groups)
Structured seed policy
Standardized SOP
Documented compliance
Defined moisture thresholds
Segregated storage
Yield variability risk is reduced through:
Agronomy training
Soil suitability screening
Defined harvest windows
Controlled expansion of sub-modules
The agronomy framework is designed for predictability rather than maximum yield experimentation.
The Jasminex agronomy system aims to:
Ensure supply stability
Maintain organic integrity
Protect varietal consistency
Support traceable export credibility
Enable disciplined expansion
The platform’s long-term scalability depends on governance strength at the farm level.
Agronomy discipline is therefore central to the bankability of the Jasminex model.
