Adding to basket
Marielos is 55 years old and is married. She lives with her husband and their two children, whom help take care of the crops. With the loan she plans on buying fertilizer and fumigation. She has in mind to buy fertilizer to apply to the coffee plants that currently have fruit, to help them sustain through the harvest and so they will mature adequately and with high quality fruit, so she can sell at a higher price and increase her profits. This will help her to improve her quality of life and to be more financially stable. This is the first loan she has taken out through "FUDECOSUR". She has never taken a loan out through a state bank, but "FUDECOSUR" offered this loan with payments that are easier to make and a much lower interest rate.
