Silvia Patricia wishes to acquire a new loan. She is 31 years old, is married and lives with her husband and daughters who are her highest priority. She wants the loan to purchase inputs: compost and fertilizers necessary for the assistance and maintenance of her cocoa crop in order to be able to obtain a product of the best quality and to sell it at a good price in the market. She hopes that this investment will provide her family with a better quality of life and greater economic stability, and that she can continue to grow as a person and as a micro-entrepreneur. This will be the fourth loan that she has received from FUDECOSUR. She has not had other loans in state banks before, but FUDECOSUR has provided the loan with greater ease and at a much lower interest rate.
