Ernesto Emilio's story
He has worked in agriculture for more than 20 years, focusing on the production of coffee and min-bananas, as well as raising and fattening pigs. Now he has four plots of coffee and four plots of mini-bananas, which generate stable income.
The requested loan will be used to buy fertilizers, herbicides, and Rumba leaf sprays, and to pay for labor, in order to strengthen his crops and improve his production.
His goal is to recover the performance of his coffee farm, after damage caused by rust, and to continue expanding his farming and livestock business.
Thanks to the support received, he will be able to improve productivity of his crops and to strengthen his economic stability
