#56: Finding Work/Life Balance as a Coffee Producer w/ Pranoy Thipaiah from Kerehaklu in India

Today I bring you a long overdue second conversation with Pranoy from Kerehaklu in India. His first appearance on the podcast was EP#34 in May 2021

I have been wanting to catch up with Pranoy for more than 2 years, and after spending a week together processing coffee and learning we were able to sit down in Jakarta after the intense week of FTC and talk. 

In this new episode we talk about:

• How he has found new markets to export his coffee
• Advice for producers attending coffee Expos like SCA and MICE
• The impact of climate change on his farm, including the changing monsoon season.
• His approach to biodiversity.
• How Covid revived an interest in Indian farm life
• The lingering prejudices of the Indian caste system
• How Australian culture has influenced his life philosophy
