  2. Excellent Podcast..! It was really informative..I am a Logistics Guy based in India interested in trading in middle ease as well as marketing of organic products in Western countries like Europe / US. If you got any leads or contacts or you think I can get in touch with the farmers for marketing their products I will be interested. Looking forward to getting in touch with you. Best Regards Ananth
