José, 36, started working in agriculture after learning it from his parents. Over time, he decided to work on his own in the same business. Currently, he has more than fifteen years of experience in this area. This exemplary farmer feels very fortunate to have his wife's unconditional support.
Jose has requested a loan from KIVA together with MiCrédito in order to buy organic fertilizers and minerals in order to prepare the soil to obtain a fruitful harvest. In the short term future, Jose plans to acquire new farms and diversify his crops until he becomes a reputable farmer.
