Mary
Kenya
Amount
Mary is a 52-year-old maize farmer in Kaptagat, Kenya. In addition to farming her core crop, she currently has two chickens and one cow on her land. Mary has historically struggled to access credit for high quality seeds and fertilizer, which has compromised the quality of her harvest.
Mary is excited to have access to high quality inputs, advice, and insurance from an Apollo Agriculture loan to increase her yields. With this bundled package, she expects higher profits this season, which she hopes to invest back into her farm in subsequent seasons.
