Milton is 36 years old, married, and has two children. The house belongs to his parents, who work in agriculture. That is where Milton learned agricultural work to earn a living. He is seeking to obtain his first loan, which he needs to buy seeds and farming supplies and to hire workers to grow peas. This way, he can start a new crop, allowing him to harvest in a different season, which will minimize the risk of a loss due to a price drop in the market.
Milton aspires to improve his work by buying some land where he can develop agriculture for financial stability to provide better living conditions to his family.
