Samuel is 32 years. He is single.


For the past 5 years, Samuel has been trading in palm oil and palm kernel oil, and sometimes oranges when they are in season. He purchases palm oil and palm kernel oil from the producers in bulk and sells it at retail to his customers. He says due to inadequate working capital, he can no longer buy large enough quantities. He hopes this loan will enable him to inject more capital into his business to meet the demands of the market.


Samuel wants to use this loan to buy bulk gallons of palm oil and palm kernel oil to avoid price hikes and frequent travels. He hopes to increase his savings to support his children’s education.
