A loan helped to buy materials for growing vegetables.


Jose Gilberto's story

Jose Gilberto wishes to acquire another loan. He is 57 years old, divorced, and lives alone. He wants the loan in order to buy supplies, fertilizers, compost, and pesticides to assist and improve his vegetable crops.

He hopes this investment will offer his family a better quality of life and better financial stability, and that he can continue growing as both a person and business owner.

This is the second loan that he has received from FUDECOSUR. He has not had any previous loans from state banks, but FUDECOSUR has offered him the loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.

This loan is special because:

It reaches rural borrowers that are considered too risky for traditional banks.
