      Summary

      Mrs. KHAN Heng, 54, is married and lives with her husband in Bantheay Meanchey province. She has five children and all of them are married. She has been working as a farmer with her husband since 2000 to earn a living. They have 10 hectares of cassava to grow every year. Her husband, Sun Phien, also works as a dealer, purchasing cassava to resell at Vietnam border. 


      Mrs. Heng is now requesting for a loan to purchase a tractor and the rest of the money is used to prepare for growing cassava for the next season. She believes that the tractor will not only help plow her farmland but also to rent out for an additional income to support her family.
