Angie's story
Angie is a young farmer from Necoclí, Antioquia, with 16 years of experience in agriculture. She owns a two-hectare farm with plantain crops at different stages of growth, which allows her to harvest around 100 bunches of plantain on a regular basis. Angie sells this production within her community and in nearby areas, transporting it with an old wheelbarrow that makes transportation difficult and limits the efficiency of her daily work.
Angie lives with her husband and her son in a house built in the middle of her land. Her husband is also a farmer and supports her with farming tasks when needed.
A loan of COP $5,318,449 allows Angie to purchase a motorcycle to improve her mobility in carrying out her agricultural activities. This investment facilitates crop transportation, optimizes travel times, and strengthens the commercialization of her plantain production.
The motorcycle in Colombia is a highly important tool for farmers, given its ability to facilitate the transportation of inputs and products across difficult terrain, optimizing time and costs, and improving access to markets.
