A loan of $1,700 helps to purchase a motorcycle that facilitates transportation between her home and banana crops.
Nidia's story
Nidia is a farmer from Balboa, Cauca, with 31 years of experience in agricultural work. She manages a one-hectare plot where she grows banana crops, overseeing all stages from planting to harvest. She performs tasks such as cleaning, fertilization, and harvesting, and sells her production in local markets and to buyers in the area, allowing her to sustain her farming activity.
Nidia lives with her husband and three of her five children in a house located 35 minutes from her farmland. Her family assists her with farming tasks when needed.
A loan of $6,560,360 COP allows Nidia to purchase a motorcycle for her agricultural activity. This investment improves her mobility between home and farmland, facilitates the transportation of inputs and harvests, and reduces travel time.
