Andres' story
Andres is an experienced animal breeder from Palmira, Valle del Cauca, with 34 years of experience. He owns a farm where he has built a pen housing 60 fattening pigs, including 44 piglets, which he feeds a balanced diet of crushed corn, feed concentrate, and cooked vegetables to promote their growth and health. The pens where he keeps his pigs are constructed with wood, metal grates, and zinc roofs, providing a safe space for the animals’ development; however, they require periodic maintenance to ensure durability and maintain optimal hygiene conditions for the pigs.
Andres lives in a house built on his farm. He has an adult son who is independent and no longer depends on the household.
A loan of 5,012,848 COP allows Andres to purchase materials to remodel the pens where he raises his pigs. This investment improves the animals’ housing conditions, ensures their well-being, optimizes production, and helps increase the income from his livestock activity.
