The story of Buridi Lathasree
Meet Buridi Lathasree, a woman from Araku, Andhra Pradesh. She is very hardworking as she manages her coffee farms and her household. Latha’s primary source of income is coffee bean farming. However, due to outdated farming methods and limited awareness of the market, Latha and the farmers in the region were generating only a limited income.
Our intervention has helped Latha and other farmers increase their income potential by 2x. The market price for coffee cherry beans is around ₹150, whereas the rate for dry cherry beans in the market is around ₹300. In the process, we also created demand for the coffee beans from corporate buyers and established market linkages for their coffee beans.
