<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Over 15-year experience working in agribusiness and value chain development and rural development; validated through experience supporting local, regional, and international trade strategies for small farmers including women, and minority groups. &ndash; organic certification, processing, packing, and branding. The value-add and postharvest opportunities takes place when good agricultural practices, and sound managerial and financial decisions are made in a timely and relevant manner.&nbsp; This process is one in which decisions are made, not in isolation, but with an understanding of impacts to and throughout the overall business. To maximize productivity, the search for missing opportunities must be managed through a quick value-added analysis. I also identify and promote the use of creative and efficient technologies to invest across the developing world to promote economic growth. I put transformational inputs and other technologies into the hands of smallholder farmers to quickly and sustainably improve productivity and incomes producing quality produce. I promote &ldquo;transformation process&rdquo; turning agricultural inputs resources into products and services that local and regional markets are willing to pay for. I make sure that end value is more than the cost of the inputs; is about adding value to the small farmers&rsquo; products. The concept is to increase the number of farmers, individuals, coops, groups, and associations to new technologies and management practices.</span></p>
