José

Jose is a hardworking farmer from Lebrija, Santander, with 32 years of experience. He owns a one-hectare farm where he grows pineapples, which he cares for with consistent agricultural practices that ensure healthy plants and a production of over 450 kilos. Jose sells this production in his community and surrounding areas, traveling with an old tricycle that allows him to transport the fruit; however, the condition of the vehicle limits the quantity he can move and the efficiency of his deliveries.

Jose lives with his mother in a house he rents monthly. His mother is an important support at home, helping him in his daily tasks while he carries out his agricultural activity as his main source of livelihood.

A loan of COP $4,440,632 allows Jose to purchase a motorcycle that will optimize his transportation for selling his pineapple production. This investment will allow him to reach his clients faster, expand his sales coverage, and improve the efficiency of product distribution, thereby increasing his income.
