We visited Dario Velasquez last Monday 3 of April at the consolodation area of Lamac MPC in Nug-as which is in the town of Alcoy in Cebu province. We found him waiting for the van that will pick up their harvested cabbages that will be delivered to hotel chains and restaurants. Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative runs a project that help farmers to organize themselves and their goods and sold it in a preferable price to the farmers. In this way, the farmers will not have the problem to deliver their products and the burden for them to figure out which market to sell their
goods. Mr. Dario was funded by lendwithcare lenders last November 2016 and he was able to fully repay his loan after five months. He hit a good harvest last March 2017. He eventually availed another loan last month to start a new and bigger cropping season
this year. The income he earned from farming enables him to do some renovation of his house and put up electricity connection. He
was thankful to Lendwithcare in connection with Lamac MPC for lending him funds to support his farming business. Update submitted by Chrisitne Marisse Pansoy and Jay-ar Suan.
