Luis Antonio

Luis is 34 years old, studied until 5th grade of school, and has a life partner who is a farmer. He has a daughter who depends on him.

Luis works in farming and cultivating staple grains, especially corn and beans. He has six years of experience, and he learned this activity from his father. The plot where he cultivates is 3 km from his house, and his work schedule is from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Before this, he used to be a mason assistant. 

He will use the loan to buy improved seeds to plant corn, and farming supplies to give proper treatment to his crops. With this, he hopes to get a good harvest. 

Luis’ dream is to have his own plots to expand his plantation and increase his profits.
