Voices from the Field
“Through the savings group, I accessed my first loan and expanded my tomato business. Today, I support five employees.”
“After business coaching from LACOMP, I began selling inputs and services to farmers. I’m now running my own hub.”
“We used to lose half our harvests. Now with cooperative support, we’re storing, selling, and reinvesting with confidence.”
