Elizabeth is an early riser and a very productive and very hard-working woman. She has two children. The older is 19 and the younger one is 15. She is diversified, and she works a lot in order to improve her quality of life and, most of all, to invest in her children's education.
She started agricultural production by growing cacao 16 years ago. She is requesting a loan to weed, prune, and fertilize the land. Most of all she will use the loan to replant (to increase and improve the cacao). Her main objective is to sell quality cacao at a fair price so that her customers recommend her as the best cacao grower. She is always looking to improve her crop production with specialized, technical care.
She works a lot in agriculture, and her second job is selling groceries. She has a small store at her house. Her dream is to improve her small store and expand it in order to be able to sell products wholesale and for retail to all types of customers.
