A loan helped to plant sugar cane.


Yorleny's story

Yorleny is 40 years old and married. She lives with her children and spouse, who are her greatest priority.

With the loan she plans to buy fertilizers and other products to apply to her sugar cane crop so that it grows well. She will also pay laborers to apply the products and assist with the planting. This will allow to ensure a job well done. Her plan is to take advantage of the good climate and soil conditions in the area for this crop. She will also put into practice her several years' experience in growing sugar cane.

She will be able to buy the best products of the highest quality so that her plants develop well and are healthy, leading to a good harvest. In a short while she will have a good crop and a greater amount of sugar because of her work. She will use the income from the harvest she hopes to obtain, for the wellbeing of her family, to accomplish some family goals, and to continue investing more in her crops.

This is the first loan she has received from Fudecosur. Even though she has had not prior loan from state banks, Fudecosur is providing her this loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Laurie Hiller.


This loan is special because:

It reaches rural borrowers that are considered too risky for traditional banks.
