Norma Margarita's story

Norma Margarita and her family live in Los Bajos de Montecristi, which stands out for its crafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua fiber and wood, and its fine toquilla straw hats known to the world as the "Panamá Hat", well-known throughout the whole country and outside of it.

Norma Margarita is grateful for the loans. With them, she is growing her business and income. She and her spouse are fruit and vegetable merchants. They purchase from markets where the providers offer them the best products for their customers. They sell by making rounds through various sectors in the city where they have their customers. They also sell their products at their house. They take advantage of and raise chickens to sell live to merchants who come to purchase.

This loan is to purchase cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, broccoli, onion, cilantro, peanuts, small chickens, corn, balanced feed, etc.
