Adding to basket
Antonio studied until the second grade. He is married and has 4 children who depend on him. His wife works raising domesticated animals.
Antonio has worked in agriculture since he was 12 years old. He acquired this knowledge from his father. In addition to cultivating the land, he raises cattle and sells his services as a day laborer earning 7$ per day. For this last one, he has a work schedule from 6:00 to 11:30am and walks 30 minutes to arrive at the location. In the afternoons he works on his own productive activities.
He needs to be supported by a loan to buy 2 calves and fertilizer for his corn crops.
He hopes to keep planting and raising cattle since they are his major source of income.
