“Wine has been close to me from the early childhood. My grandfather was an agronomist and a reputable grower of vine saplings. As a child, I used to help my grandfather in the vineyard. I helped him to cultivate land with a plough. He let me even drink some wine. He would give me a little cup of wine mixed with water; at dinner time, we used to take three cups each. “

"It is already18 years that I’ve been engaged in the business.  I have a private tractor, which I operate myself.  Initially, I used to be a salaried employee; then, I set up my mind to purchase a tractor and expand my income. Apart from a tractor, I have another car as well, which is operated by a driver.  As for the future plans, I intend to acquire additional equipment."

I started the business about a year and a half ago. Initially, as we did not have much capacity, banks were reluctant to extend funding. JSC MFO “Crystal” turned up right at that moment. With the borrowed funds, we managed to purchase machinery and expand our operations, almost doubling the capacity. Currently, we employ 11 people and further plan to increase the number to 25.

‘’Not having any experience with banks, I was recommended to apply to MFO Crystal. They studied my business and offered a loan with a grace period. They offered to lend money for purchasing chickens and gave an opportunity to repay it after their realization. Such condition was definitely welcome for me.Currently, I have 10 000 chickens.In any unforeseen event, I rely on Cystal and regard it as my savior”.
