Marcelo is 45 years old, he lives with his family in the parish of Cahuasqui in the Urcuqui canton of the province of Imbabura in northern Ecuador.
Marcelo is a farmer and has always had his own crops. He has planted beans and has other land ready to plant, this work has allowed him to generate income to support his family.
Marcelo requests a loan to buy more bean seeds, reeds, fertilizer, fungicides and manure for optimal crop care so that he can obtain a quality product to sell at a good price in the market and have a good profit margin.
Marcelo is again very grateful for the help and trust as his crops are his main source of income that provide his family with a good economic stability.
