Maria Gabriela is 26 years old. She's married and currently lives with her husband and child. The loan that she wants is to buy inputs. Maria Gabriela hopes to be able to buy the needed inputs to help her coffee plantings in the best way, with the intention of improving her coffee plantation, expanding production, and being able to sell the coffee at a better price and thereby earning more money, which will help her improve her family's quality of life.
This is the first loan that she's receiving from FUDECOSUR, and she's thankful for the support so that she can get ahead with her coffee-growing business. She hasn't had previous loans from the state banks, but FUDECOSUR has offered her a loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.
