María's story
]María is a hardworking farmer from Patía, Cauca, with 36 years of experience. She owns a two-hectare farm planted with sugarcane crops, which she maintains using agricultural techniques that ensure crop yield. Thanks to these practices, she harvests around half a ton of sugarcane, which she sells to various panela factories, generating consistent income for her productive activity.
Maria lives with her husband and one of her three children in a house built half an hour from her property. Her older children are independent adults.
A loan of 5,952,366 COP allows María to purchase a motorcycle. This investment improves her transportation between her home and her crops, enabling better management of her crops and business, increasing productivity, and strengthening the efficiency and profitability of her agricultural and commercial activities.
The motorcycle in Colombia is a highly important tool for farmers, given its ability to facilitate the transportation of inputs and products across difficult terrain, optimizing time and costs, and improving access to markets.
