A loan helped to maintain his agricultural land, to be able to clear it, prune, and fertilize, to have a good harvest.


Jimmy's story

Jimmy is 24 years old, and consider himself to be a hardworking and responsible person with great desire to get ahead. Two years ago, he began to increase his productivity of cacao and to have a variety on his agricultural land. One of his challenges is to continue harvesting quality products and that his customers are satisfied.

At this time, Jimmy asks for a loan through Kiva to maintain his agricultural land, to be able to clear it, prune, and fertilize, to have a good harvest to sell at a fair price.

In addition, he works doing day labor on other agricultural land in the zone with the goal of continuing to save up to have agricultural land to be able to purchase and establish cacao.

This loan is special because:

It schedules repayment rates based on the harvest season to put less pressure on farmers' families.
