      The project

      Mrs. CHEU Lihorng, 46, is married and lives with her husband and two children in Kratie province. She is a farmer who grow 5 hectares of cassava and one hectare of rubber. the rubber plantation is just for 3 years old, and it will provide income in two years. She also works as a dealer who go to buy cassava from villagers to resell at Vietnam border. From her warehouse, she is usually purchase cassava from small dealers from 5-10 tone each day. Try cassava usually around USD 20 cents per kilogram to resell at Vietnam border, and they use their own truck to transport. Every month, they can transport from 5-8 times which each transportation the truck can load about 30 tones. The dealer business is going very well and make more income to support the family. The only reason they face is that there are many local dealers who compete with the price. 

      Mrs. CHEU and her husband are requesting for a loan so that they both can reserve to increase a stock of their cassava for resell.
