A loan helped to look after 1.76 hectares of coffee.


Gil Antonio's story

Gil Antonio is a 50-year-old coffee producer, with more than 22 years of experience in coffee cultivation. He manages a farm of 3.52 hectares of land, of which 2.11 have coffee crops. On the farm he lives with his wife and his young children who are currently studying. Gil Antonio dreams of giving his family a better future.

This cycle he is requesting a loan to buy the plants, pay for labour, buy equipment and tools and manage the production of his coffee. This loan will have a return in the second year.

During the season, he generates employment for 12 people in his community. This is the first loan he has requested with PACSA.

This loan is special because:

It helps farmers swap unproductive coffee plants with new ones.
