André Carmel Béliard, the Minister of Agriculture through his Director General, welcomes the initiative and recalls the Ministry's dedication to supporting the CLP Project in order to achieve its objectives in line with his roadmap https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20549-haiti-flash-big-roadmap-for-the-minister-of-agriculture.html

To this end, a "Mechanism for Agricultural Credit Guarantee" (MGCA) was already set up, where farmer organizations now have access to better rates of interest through innovative financial products.
