We’re seeking a Program Manager based in India to lead a key strategic program focused on delivering customized advisory to coffee growers in collaboration with the Coffee Board of India, with a focus on sustainability, market linkages and gender inclusion.

This program aims to provide coffee farmers with timely and accessible digital advice, customized to their needs. Currently, the service reaches 75,000 farmers across three states: Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, but our goal is to expand the service to reach all coffee growers in the country. We are also piloting a model for advisory bundled with market linkages for farmer groups.

Effective service provision will build market linkages for farmer collectives, improve their knowledge, promote behavior change, facilitate access to new markets, and improve yields, net incomes, and environmental outcomes. We hope that this bundled product becomes a model for the coffee industry, and other commodity cash crops, particularly where there are opportunities that promote more sustainable practices (such as intercropping with spices) that increase income opportunities, and open the value chain for greater involvement on the part of women and indigenous communities.


About PxD
PxD is a rapidly scaling global non-profit that harnesses the power of technology, data science and behavioral economics to provide targeted information to farmers in low- and middle-income countries. Providing the right information to the right people, in the right way and at the right time, increases incomes, protects the environment and improves well-being.

We are evidence-based: we test our interventions with randomized controlled trials to prove our impact and cost effectiveness, to simultaneously learn from and improve our service, and to demonstrate our value to funders and partners.

There are few programmes in international development that are as demonstrably cost effective as ours. We currently work in ten countries in Africa, Asia and South America, and are expanding as more governments and organizations look for innovative ways to use new technologies to empower people across the world.
