Surdari would like to acquire a new loan. She is 36 years old, is married, and lives with her husband and child who are her top priority. She wants the loan to buy agricultural inputs, compost, and fertilizer which are necessary to assist, maintain, and care for her coffee crops. Her goal is to obtain the highest quality of coffee bean to then sell at the market at the best price. She hopes that this investment will bring her family a better quality of life and greater financial stability, and she hopes to keep growing as a small-business owner and as a person. This is the second loan she has received from FUDECOSUR. She has not had other prior loan from state banks, but FUDECOSUR has provided the loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.
