Mrs. Erika and her sister Beatriz dedicate themselves to the production of pickles. They started this business a couple of years ago looking for clients in the southern zone and producing pickles according to clients' requests. Now that the market is growing along with the requests, they find it necessary to produce the pickles in greater quantity and to store them in a fresh place so that the delivery and distribution of the product can occur in a more timely manner. It is because of this that Mrs. Erika requests an individual credit from Emprender (a Kiva field partner) as a new client to invest in permanent assets.
