Rita is a hard-working, responsible and entrepreneurial woman. She is 60 years old and she lives with her husband.
Rita wants to invest in a coffee project, planning to replace part of the coffee farm with a variety of coffee that is resistant to infestations and that produces a greater harvest. Besides, she will also buy supplies for the coffee and pay for part of the labor that is involved with the coffee farm. She is making a loan request for these reasons.
This is the first loan that Rita has received with FUDECOSUR. She does not have other loans with the state banks, but FUDECOSUR has provided the loan with better terms and a much lower rate of interest.
