About Sandesh Deranna
With a demonstrated history at TechnoServe India, my role as Senior Program Manager has been pivotal in advancing sustainable agriculture practices and strengthening market linkages for coffee, turmeric, and black pepper value chains. Our team\'s collaboration has been instrumental in facilitating market access and raising significant trade advances for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), empowering over Araku Tribal Coffee farmers. Leveraging expertise in supply chain management and precision farming, I have pioneered initiatives to enhance organic kitchen gardens, impacting 1,500 women farmers. My achievements include establishing black pepper market access and executing substantial turmeric business deals for FPOs, alongside spearheading monitoring and evaluation surveys to continuously improve our interventions. My commitment lies in driving impactful agribusiness solutions that foster economic growth and social development.
