María de los Ángeles is 45 years old and married, and she lives with her husband and children, who are her top priority.
She wants the loan to buy the inputs, fertilizer, and soil amendments she needs to assist, maintain, and improve her tomato crops. Her goal is to be able to get the best quality product so she can sell it for a good price in the market.
She hopes this investment will give her family 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 is her first loan from FUDECOSUR. She hasn't had previous loans from state banks, but FUDECOSUR offered her the loan with the best terms and a much lower interest rate.
