Since 2008, Ficohsa’s De Mi Tierra – or “Of My Land” – program has supported the growth of over 900 producers in rural areas of Honduras through loans, technical assistance, and guaranteed purchases of products at fair market prices.
For over 15 years, De Mi Tiettra’s flexible financing and less stringent collateral requirements have enabled producers to buy supplies such as fertilizer and pest control at precisely the right moment, enabling them to grow year-round crops, and increase productivity, yields, and quality.
Over 100 communities have now benefited from the US$ 6.9 million dispersed by Ficohsa’s De Mi Tierra program, which provides support tailored to the needs of small- and medium-sized enterprises in the farming sector.
