Adding to basket
Jose Luis, age 47, is from Jamay, Jalisco. All his life, he has lived in that place, and he says that what he likes most about his village is the tranquility. The people are home-loving and helpful, and above all have passion for the land, which is one of the principal economic sectors in the area.
His parents had small crops of corn, and they involved him in the work when he was young. It is thanks to them that he decided to continue helping with the fields and their producers, by harvesting corn, the principal product of the region.
The greatest achievement he mentions is that he was able to provide good values and education at home and in school for his three children, whom he hopes to see in careers and their own families during his lifetime.
Thanks to his dedication and honesty, he has consolidated among the producers in the region who, year after year, request his services in harvesting corn. That is why he seeks a loan for MXN 350,000.00, to buy a thresher. That will permit him to meet the demand that he has every harvest season and to continue providing for his family.
