Eliseo

Eliseo is a 61-year-old coffee producer. He currently manages a farm of 8.45 hectares, of which 3.52 hectares are planted with coffee. Compared to 2024, he owns less land because he decided to transfer 3.52 hectares to his son. Eliseo has 27 years of experience dedicating himself with great effort and care to coffee cultivation, which is the main crop that generates income to improve his quality of life. Together with his wife, he has worked to move the farm forward. He is currently applying for a loan that will allow him to purchase plant material, pay labor costs, among other expenses, to renovate 2.11 hectares with new coffee plantings. During the season, he generates employment for 80 people in the community. This is the third loan he has processed with PACSA.
