A loan helped to immediately buy agricultural supplies and improved corn seed, in order to have a better harvest that will allow her to fill her customers' orders.


Juana's story

Juana is married and currently lives with her husband. Both of them work so that their stream of income continues functioning and they can have a much more comfortable lifestyle.

Every day, they carry out their farming labors. They grow corn most often. Their work schedule is from 8am until 2pm. Juana started her business about 30 years ago, and she did it using her own capital.

With the loan she has requested, she will be able to immediately buy agricultural supplies and improved corn seed. This way, she will have a better harvest that will allow her to fulfill the requests her customers have made. This is how she expects to recover the investment without major difficulties, in order to pay back the loan.

Her dream is to be a well-known micro-entrepreneur in the area, and to improve her income so she can fulfill her various commitments.
