Adding to basket
María and her husband are humble and responsible people who have worked hard their whole lives in agriculture. In this way they have helped their kids move ahead and now farming is their source of sustenance and it is how they plan to spend their old age. María is asking for a new loan in order to meet expenses for agricultural products, watering, and day laborers for her crops of onion and green peas. These items are the most expensive for agriculture and they are also unpredictable. Sometimes they cost more due to climate conditions or plagues that appear and cause damage to crops if they have not been properly cared for. That can compromise production. María reiterates her promise to meet all repayments punctually since this loan will help her to move forward with her crops.
