Loan

Location: Vietnam

Loan is transporting 5 large bags of un-milled rice (about ¼ ton) from the farm to her house. This is just part of a total 10 million VND ($435) worth of rice that she has bought from a farmer in the farmer’s field, but she will need to transport it over a couple of trips. Once she gets the rice home, she will process it in her mill and then sell the improved product. Loan borrowed 30 million VND ($1,305) for her business but she says the business could absorb 50 million VND ($2,175). (At this time 30 million VND is the largest loan size that regulation allows TYM to disburse.)
