Customer Cao Thi Me Len takes care of the custard apple garden that is bearing fruit for the next crop

Ms. Cao Thi Me Len (39 years old), Khmer people, living in Thanh Dong hamlet, Thanh Tan commune, Tay Ninh city has more than 3 public lands to grow custard apple, located at the foot of Ba Den mountain, given by her parents to do business. She spent much on the custard-apple garden in the hope of stabilizing her family life, but it was really not enough.

A few months ago, with the introduction and guidance of the Farmers' Association of Thanh Tan commune, she was able to borrow VND 50 million from the branch of VBSP in Tay Ninh province to hire more workers and buy more fertilizer. The "reinforcement" at this right time helps her family to be very excited and more motivated to work.

Thanks to the right investment, her custard apple garden has been harvested with high yield (usually harvest two crops per year). The custard apple also has high quality so the output price is stable. After the first harvest, after deducting expenses, her family made a profit of about VND 80 million, higher than before. Ms. Len excitedly said that thanks to borrowing loans from the provincial branch of VBSP in time, she had capital to make custard apple more effective.
