José is an older gentleman who is 66 years of age. He is a humble, hardworking, and respectful man who happily lives with his daughter who he raised as a single father. She is about to finish her studies.
José earns his living from agriculture, primarily growing cacao. He focuses on providing good care for his cacao trees so that they produce thick pods full of quality cacao beans. His goal is to continue cultivating more varieties of cacao for export.
This time, José is requesting a loan to buy compost, fertilizers, foliar sprays, and disinfectants. With these supplies, he will be able to better maintain his crops so that he can obtain an abundant harvest. José hopes to generate good profits so that he can continue to support his daughter until she graduates and becomes a professional.
