Martial's story

Martial is 51 years old. He has been growing potatoes for a number of years. He delivers his product in his province. He finds it profitable and he continues to expand his cultivated land. He takes out loans from VAHATRA in order to have sufficient financial capital. His first loan was beneficial. He will invest his profits into his financial capital to grow his potatoes once again. He still needs a loan to buy seeds, fertilizer, manure as well as phytosanitary products and pay for labor. He manages to cover the needs of his four children with his earnings. In the future he would like to have financial independence.
