A loan helped to purchase soil amendments for his crops, pigs, and feed.


Jose Manuel's story

Jose is married and has one child whom he has gotten ahead with arduous effort and dedication. For a number of years, he has worked at his business growing coffee in the municipality of Risaralda.

Jose states that his interest with the loan is to invest in the purchase of soil amendments for his crops, to have enough on hand and be able to satisfy the demand which sometimes comes up and which, due to the delay in his harvest, he is unable to meet. In addition, he wants to capitalize his activity purchasing pigs and feed to raise and fatten them.

This will help him to improve sales, increase his customers and also face the underlying difficulties. He is grateful for the opportunity the corporation is offering him to access this loan and give continuity to his activity.
