Haiti - Agriculture : France from words to deeds 15/06/2016 11:15:14 Rural development projects of AFD become reality :
Towards the development of cocoa sectors, coffee and vetiver : At the request of the Ministry of Agriculture, AFD could finance the development of cocoa sectors, coffee and vetiver (essential oil). The context is favorable, the demand for quality products is strong, particularly from French operators willing to offer remunerative prices. In addition, these sectors can contribute not only to improving incomes of farmers in the short term but also in the restoration of watersheds and forest cover instead of contributing to their degradation, thanks to ecological agroforestry technologies . Note that agroforestry present co-benefits in terms of economic development, adaptation to climate change and reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases from agriculture, by sequestering carbon in organic form, in soils and trees. Coffee culture goes beyond mere economic opportunity. Haiti has proposed this approach under the conditional commitments that have been taken at COP 21 climate of Paris. At the request of the Haitian authorities, the AFD will present an extension of support to the coffee sector to the Green Fund, which was established to support countries like Haiti. HL/ HaitiLibre
