A loan helped to purchase fertilizers, compost, and other supplies for banana cultivation.


Marlon Javier's story

Marlon Javier is a 30-year-old married man with one child who resides with his family in the San Pedro Sula department of Cortes. For the past 11 years, he has made a living through the cultivation and sale of bananas, which he carries out on his own land. Previously, he was a private employee.

He is currently requesting a loan from ODEF for 16,000 lempiras to purchase fertilizers, compost, and other supplies for banana cultivation. This investment will help him improve his crops to achieve a better yield. His goal is to sell bananas to the entire area so that he can achieve better sales.

Translated from Spanish.
