Haiti - Agriculture : USAID launches the Boost Livestock Profitability activity 13/02/2023 09:22:06
Beginning in 2023, USAID will be partnering with livestock market actors to support livestock value chains. PARE will build a more resilient livestock market that will boost profitable commercialization of the cattle, goat, sheep, and poultry value chains in 35 communes of Haiti's North, North-East, Center, and South departments. USAID will enable long-lasting market linkages with aspiring private and public sector partners, while building the resilience of smallholder farmers and their communities. "Currently, smallholder farmers in Haiti lack access to inputs and services, such as quality feed and forages, and health, veterinary, and financial services. Outbreaks in animal diseases are common — as are supply chain disruptions around the country — making it difficult for producers to sell and transport goods," says U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Eric Stromayer. PARE will use a $3.6 million market co-investment fund to kickstart the sector to tackle these issues, while improving local markets and livelihoods. By 2027, the activity will improve the resilience of up to 30,000 households and 100 firms, facilitating more than $65 million USD in sales for producers, input providers, and other businesses, and leveraging $3.6 million USD in private sector investment. USAID/Haiti's Mission Director Jennifer Link, adds that, "In Haiti, the livestock sector is of significant importance for most of the rural households as a means of savings and safety net. PARE will help increase livestock production to feed families, increase farmers' earnings, and improve the resilience of the livestock market actors." HL/ HaitiLibre
