Rising Operational Costs Reduce Profits for Family Farmers

Javier Zamora, a family farmer, is seeing a decline in profit margins despite successfully expanding his customer base and establishing his farm. The financial viability of his business is currently threatened by rising operational expenses.

Zamora attributes the falling profits to the increasing costs of essential inputs, specifically labor, chemicals, and diesel. While his business has grown in scale, these overhead costs have outpaced his revenue gains.
