Joselyn, from Los Ángeles, is 18 years old, single, and lives with her siblings and parents, who are her greatest priority. With the loan, she plans to purchase high quality bean seeds with high germination and fertilizers and other products to apply to the crop, in addition she will pay labor costs to apply the products and assistance to the crop once it is developed, and in this way assure herself of doing good work. What she plans to do is to take advantage of the good climatic and soil conditions that this zone has for this crop, and also to put into practice her years of experience growing basic grains. In addition to being able to purchase better products of better quality so that her crop develops well and healthily, she plans as well to have a good harvest and to have, in the short term, a significant production. With the income from the harvest that she expects to get, she wants to use it for her family's well-being and education and to meet some family goals and continue investing more in her crops. This is the first loan she has gotten from FUDECOSUR. She has not had any previous loans from state banks, but FUDECOSUR has offered her the loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.
