Luz Miriam is 62 years old, married, and lives with her spouse who is her greatest priority. With her loan, she plans to purchase fertilizers and other products to apply them to the coffee crop so that the harvest has good development. In addition, she will pay labor costs to apply the products and assist the plants once her harvest has developed well. In this way, she will assure good work is done.
What she plans is to make the most of the good climate and soil conditions that the area has for this crop and to put into practice a number of years of experience in managing coffee. In addition, she will be able to purchase the best products and of better quality so that her crop has good development and health and also a good harvest and, in the short term, to have a significant production. With the income from the harvest that she expects to get, she wants to use it for the well-being of her family and to achieve some family goals and to continue investing more in her crops.
This is her first loan that she has gotten from FUDECOSUR. She has not had previous loans from state banks, but FUDECOSUR has offered her the loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.
