07/10/2017 10:38:05

The Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), inform that in the framework of Tripartite Cooperation, a team a Cuban Expert in Agroforestry, a representative of the Directorate of External Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture of Cuba, and a representative of the FAO Subregional Office in Panama, has carried out a mission in Haiti.

The main objective of this technical mission, assisted by the Ministry and the FAO, was to develop a Technical Cooperation Project on agroforestry, particularly in the coconut sector.

According to the strategy adopted, the project will go through an 18-month pilot phase, which will lead to a national agroforestry program. The commune of Saint Jean du Sud has been chosen for the pilot experiment.

At the end of the mission, a restitution session was held in the presence of Carmel André Béliard, Minister of Agriculture, Nathanael Hishamunda, FAO Representative in Haiti, and Cuban Ambassador Luis Castillo.
