A loan helped to purchase sows, concentrated feed and vitamins to fatten them and breed them to increase the number of pigs he has.


Ciro Hermes's story

Ciro is 64 years old and widowed. He has four independent children.

Ciro raises and sells pigs. He buys small animals and feeds them to achieve optimal growth and weight for subsequent sale. He also grows basic grains and has experience in raising cattle.

Ciro will use his loan to purchase sows, concentrated feed and vitamins to fatten them and breed them to increase the number of pigs he has.

Ciro dreams of making improvements to his home.
