Lucio is a 63-year-old farmer and father of four children. He lives in Izcuchaca, Perú, and he has been working to grow avocado for the past three years. Lucio has invested his time and effort in his plantation, and now he needs a microloan in order to cover the costs of maintenance and fertilizer for his trees. These are fundamental aspects for ensuring the health and productivity of his crop. This support will allow him to improve the quality of his avocados and guarantee a greater income, benefitting his family and contributing to the local economy.
