About Me

My name is Omar Coulibaly. I went to school at the age of 6 at the primary school of Colsama and then I got my primary studies certificate. I went to high school at the College of Tounouma Garçon until 12th grade. After leaving high school I started getting in the trade business. I am not married and I don't have any children.

My Business

When I left high school I got into different trading activities thanks to my father (who was in the field) but not for long because he did not have a long life. I am in the trade of grains (rice, corn, sorghum, etc.). The price of a 200 lb bag fluctuates but I buy them at 6,000 CFA Francs (9.8 USD) each during harvest time and then I resell them with a profit of 1,500 to 2,000 CFA Francs (2.45-3.27 USD) if I can keep these bags for a period of 2 to 3 months. If I cannot keep these bags more than 2 months, the profit will be between 1,000 to 1,500 CFA Francs (1.63-2.45 USD) per bag. This income allows me to provide for my family.

Loan Proposal

After my school life I embraces the little trade activity thanks to my father who was in that area and who unfortunately did not have a long life.
I am in the grain industry. For example, rice, corn, sorghum, etc.
The price of bags of 100kg varies gradually. The bags are bought at 6000F and are resold during two months. It earns around 1500F (2.45 USD) and 2000F (3.27 USD) of interest by bag if you keep them beyond two or three months.
But if you do not have the ways to keep them beyond two months, you would have an interest of 1000F to 1500F per bag (1.63-2.45 USD).
With this loan I can come to help the needs of my family.
