Jose Porfirio is 47 years old. He is a small scale coffee producer. He is married, has 6 children, and lives with his family in the municipality of Patuca in Olancho state.
Jose has worked in this trade for 15 years and learned it from his family. Every morning he gets up very early to take care of activities in the field, and during different seasons he contracts people to help him. He does not have a fixed work schedule because the work he does depends on what needs to be done.
Jose is requesting this loan to pay for labor and transportation to take his crop to market. This loan will help him earn money to continue supporting his family.
His goal is to become a large producer and to have his own vehicle to be able to sell his crops. This is his first loan cycle with FAMA and he expects to make his payments on time.
