Jorge, age 53, lives with his wife in his own house. He grows sugarcane. He sells his products at the different markets. With what he earns he manages to pay for the household necessities.
Jorge is requesting a loan for the maintenance of his sugarcane crop (fertilizer, compost, and pesticides, etc.) and to improve the land that is shown in the photo. This way he will have better income, and he will be able to give his family a better quality of life.
