Haiti - Agriculture : Inauguration of a new seed center in Torbeck 01/11/2020 09:51:41
This ultra-modern seed center, using computers for grain analysis, is one of three built in the country under the Moïse government after that of Ferrière (North-East) with an annual capacity of 5,000 tons and that of Dezo (Artibonite) with an annual capacity of 12,000 tons of seeds. These centers are a response to poor quality seeds and seeds that did not match what growers were used to. Moïse pointed out that in 2017, the country had a production capacity of only 2,000 tons of rice seeds, in the former Dezo Center (Artibonite), where there was a lot of waste due to materials that was not really adapted to 21st century technology, pointing out that 3 years later Haiti now has an annual production capacity of 20,000 tonnes. The Head of State recalled the major works he is carrying out across the country with a view to reviving agriculture, citing, among other things : producing quality rice seeds accessible to producers; increase the capacity of rice farmers; make credit available through the National Bank for Agricultural Development; promote and support production blocks: install solar pumps across the country to irrigate fields, provide electricity to facilitate the conservation and processing of agricultural products, etc...
