María is 59 years old. She is married and lives with her husband, who is her highest priority.
She wants the loan for the purchase of inputs, fertilizers and manure necessary for the assistance, improvements and maintenance of her rambutan crops in order to obtain a product of the best quality.
She hopes that this investment will provide her family with a better quality of life and greater economic stability. She also hopes that she can continue to grow as a person and as a micro-entrepreneur.
It is the first 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 facilities and a much lower interest rate.
