Jhonier's story
Jhonier is a young entrepreneur from Cali, Valle del Cauca, with five years of experience. He owns a factory that produces arepas de choclo (circular dough made from ground fresh corn and cheese), which he prepares consistently using a manual mill that he has used for several years to make his recipes; however, this manual process requires greater physical effort, increases preparation time, and limits the quantity of products he can produce daily.
Jhonier lives in his mother’s house, who is a crucial support for him in the preparation of his products.
A loan of $5,821,249 COP allows Jhonier to acquire an automatic mill that optimizes corn grinding, reduces production times, and improves process efficiency. This investment strengthens his operational capacity, improves the quality of the final product, and allows him to increase the volume of arepas produced.
