Frigia, 53, is an enterprising, married woman who lives with her husband. She has applied for a loan because she wants to invest in the care of her tomato crop that she is growing with much work and care near her home. It requires fumigation, foliar treatment and manure to control disease and have proper care to produce a quality crop and enough volume to earn a profit. This is to cover family expenses, have a better quality of life and continue investing in her project.
It is her first loan through Fudecosur. She has received no other state bank loan and Fudecosur is giving her better loan payment terms and a much lower interest rate.
