Jasmine rice ‘Hom Mali’ in Thai is one of the major commodities in Thailand. Farmers in Northeast region, who are main producers, have to face with several problems causing lost from their crop. One of causes is lacking of accessibility to market offering satisfactory price of Hom Mali leading to be poor logistics system in the area. In this study, therefore, facility location model will be developed in term of profitability optimisation using Genetic Algorithm technique. Tradeoffs between farmer revenues and transport costs are used in order to finding optimal logistics network configuration. The algorithm will be used a given existing conditions to estimate the optimal configuration of facility in study area. Number, location, and capacity of facilities are suggested to provide levels of optimal logistics system in the study area.
