Loan description:
Aged 37, Ida is married with 3 children, who all attend school. Having left school, she became involved in field cultivation. For 4 years, she has worked as a producer of red oil, which she makes from palm nuts in a small production unit in her house. The majority of the oil she produces is stocked and delivered to priority wholesalers in Nigeria, while the rest is sold to wholesalers in the villages of Pobè, Ouèrè and others around the area. To facilitate the production process, Ida employs up to 15 people who she pays on a daily basis in accordance with the work carried out. In addition to the farming work that she does, Ida is also involved in the wholesale trade of gari – a major carbohydrate staple in West Africa that she sells on the market at Ikpinlè. She sources her stocks from the fields around Adja-Ouèrè. Having been a beneficiary of the products of ACFB for several years, she is currently seeking a loan for 450,000 West African francs so that she can expand her stocks of palm nuts and cassava. The ensuing profit from this will help to increase her capital and will contribute to the household costs as well as saving for the purchase of a plot of land.
