Antonio Tabacon

When Antonio Tabacon inherited a rice farm from his parents, he was happy and confident that he would be able to make the farm productive. Now, he is 51 years old and still single. He wants to save money because he is still planning to get married, hopefully this year. He needs additional capital for his business. He would like a loan of 7,000 PHP from CEVI. He will use this loan in buying rice seeds, fertilizers and other farm needs.

Antonio is actively participating in CEVI cluster meetings where he learns about business and savings. He also receives insurance coverage in addition to the loans that he is requesting.
