Loan description:

Aged 45, Marceline is married and has 5 children, who are all at school. For nearly 20 years, she has been a manufacturer of red oil, made from palm nuts in a small production unit in her home. The large majority of the palm oil produced is stocked and delivered to priority wholesalers in Nigeria; the rest is used to serve wholesalers in the villages of Pobè, Ouèrè and others in the surrounding area. In order to facilitate the transformation of the nuts, Marceline employs up to 3 people at a time. In addition, she also produces gari, a major carbohydrate staple in Benin. Having been a beneficiary of the microfinance organisation ACFB for several years, Marceline is currently seeking a loan for 450,000 West African francs to help her expand her stocks of palm nuts. The ensuing profit from this trade will enable her to increase her capital, contribute to household costs and save for the purchase of her own plot of land.
