Haiti - Economy : The free zone of Digneron has already create 8,000 jobs
Recall that in July 2018, the "Palm Apparel Group", a group of Haitian businessmen completed the first phase of the construction of an industrial park in the Dideron free zone located in Roche Blanche (Croix-des-Bouquets) hhttps://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-18566-icihaiti-economy-towards-the-establishment-of-3-new-free-zones-in-haiti.html with an area of ​​33,000 m2 this phase required $ 15 million in investments.

In this first phase, 4 industrial buildings, two administrative buildings (with seismic standards), customs facilities and appropriate infrastructures were built (cafeteria, dispensary...)

The Haitian promoters of the "Palm Apparel Group" Jean Paul Faubert, Guy Faubert, Patrick Blanchet, Alain Villard and Roger Carrié specify that 8,000 jobs have already been created and with the completion of the Digneron free zone, they estimate they can create 15,000 jobs additional. The Group indicates that the workers were trained and received the minimum wage during their training, underlining that those who become more efficient earn between 600 and 700 gourdes per day.

"There are opportunities to do good things in Haiti despite the instability in the country" according to the promoters who have recently lost the opportunity to sign two important contracts because of the socio-political situation and the lack of road infrastructure. Indeed, it would take 8 kilometers of road to serve this free zone which is also waiting for a bridge to cross the river Grise from Tabarre. However confident, they intend to take full advantage of the competitive advantages of the HOPE (Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership for Encouragement) which allows the United States to import duty-free quota of clothing from Haiti, and generate employment and income of currency in Haiti.

Note that the "Palm Apparel Group" plans to build a hospital outside the free zone for the inhabitants of Digneron.
