Tomato, peas, watermelon, sweet pepper, okra, cabbage, carrot and amaranth: all the seedlings provided are known to Haitian farmers and have been collected following an analysis of the needs previously carried out by the Cooperation Department of the French Embassy in Haiti, they have been checked and validated by French research centers specialized in tropical agriculture. Their distribution on the Haitian territory will be ensured by the Seed National Service (SNS) of MARNDR to prepare the next winter crop production campaign.
