Adding to basket
Juan is a farmer. He lives with his family,which consists of his mother and siblings. He is single and the farming business was started on his own inititative. He has no set schedule for the activities that the farming demands.
At this time, he needs to buy materials for the new planting. He is asking for a loan to acquire fertilizer, insecticides and to prepare the soil. This purchase will allow him to have what he needs to work, although there is always risk in the winter season, which can either harm or benefit the crop.
For Juan, the objective is to have big crops and abundant production, with no losses due to weather. With his family's support, he can get ahead.
