The project
Mrs. Heang Soklag, 33, is married and lives with her husband and two school aged children in Kampong Cham province. To earn a living, she and her husband are farmers, growing cassava on five hectare of farmland since 2011 to earn as a main income to support her their family. The weather conditions have been difficult for farming in Cambodia this past year and the cassava price is also decrease which make many farmers are in bad condition, Mrs. Heang included.
The cassava demand is now going better since most of the product are not export Vietnam and Thailand, but to China as well. Heang is asking for a loan to invest on her cassava plantation. She sees these investments as a great opportunity to increase her daily income and also to improve her standard of living.
