Microfinance in Costa Rica

I want to talk about The Porcine Industry is one pymes that exist in different places of our country and with help of microcredit many poor people can have opportunity of work and change the life’s.
The Porcine Industry consists in the fattening pigs for the sale in Costa Rica and export to other countries. The pork should have meet requirements and quality standards of the “Ministerio de Salud” and “Camara del Consumidor”. The pork is healthy meat so it is low in calories and cholesterol to eat frequency.

During five month the feeding of the pig consist in concentrate and types of vegetables so it depends on the zone of country has to specific; for example in general the producer can to give yuca, malanga, plantain , potato and the other. The pig has three stages of growth, the firth is the initiation and after is the “development” and the final is fattening. In the result, the weight of the pig should be 100 pound for to eat for sale on delicatessen.

The cleaning during the development of the pig is very important for the quality of final production; they need to take a bath twice at day and clean the places where they live. The clean places reduce the danger of the bites and the diseases to infect the pig. The hygiene and the programs of the food is the principal reason for the success the production.

My family has pymes of the porcine industry and it is good business, but it is hard work and need discipline and control because when the business do not followed the control of feeding and cleaning, the percent of danger is high no for better, we loss of the money and the productions. So to complement the pymes with the waste of the pig in to several application and the productions cost can be reduced.
