      The project

      Mrs. Chab Sokea, 45, is married and lives with her husband and one child in Kampong Cham province. To earn a living, She and her husband work as dealers, buying cashew nuts, cassava, mango, and rubber from small farmers to resell at the factory. They also grow rice and cassava on 3 hectars of farmland to have an additional income to support their family. 

      Mrs. Sokea has started a dealer business for about 4 years but she does not earn more income since there are many competitions and she has little capital to invest. She is requesting for a loan to invest in her dealing business. 

      After the loan, she will have more money to buy more cassava, rubber, and cashew nut for resell.
