          The main objective of the study is to examine the relationship between the consumer attitude and purchase intention in organic rice with four factors, Health Concern, Environmental Concern, Product Knowledge and Product Price. In Myanmar, the knowledge of organic product is growing among people in which the elderly consumers are well aware about the availability of organic products more than younger generations. The quantitative questionnaires are approached to detect between four factors with attitude and purchase intention by using linear regression analysis to confirm the results. The results show that four factors are significant influences to the attitude and purchase intention on organic rice. In addition, consumer attitude is significantly influenced to the purchase intention. Thus, the consumer attitude is the key of the motivating factor to purchase organic rice.
