Adaptive and Innovative Solutions for Agri-Food Market Opportunities in Haiti

FY 2018-19 · 2019-03-15

Summary
This project aims to strengthen the maize value chain in Haiti’s Sud and Artibonite departments. Its goal is to improve the livelihoods of 10,000 smallholder farm families through expanded commercialization and sustainable production of maize, along with bean, an essential companion crop. An emphasis is on creating opportunities for women and youth to contribute to - and benefit from - activities that promote added value and climate change adaptation in the targeted value chains. Project activities include: (1) increasing targeted maize producers’ access to reliable, competitive, and durable markets for their product through the establishment of local purchasing centers with direct linkages to a large-scale industrial buyer ; (2) improving agricultural productivity, yields, and post-harvest quality of maize and bean through promoting sustainable climate smart techniques and technologies; and (3) enhancing rural farm families’ resiliency to recurrent natural disaster through disaster risk reduction awareness-raising.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à renforcer la filière maïs dans les départements du Sud et de l'Artibonite en Haïti. L’objectif est d'améliorer les moyens de subsistance de 10 000 petits exploitants agricoles grâce à une commercialisation élargie et une production durable de maïs, en association avec la culture du haricot. Un accent est mis sur la création d’opportunités au profit des femmes et des jeunes et d’activités contribuant à accroître la valeur ajoutée et à favoriser l'adaptation aux changements climatiques des filières ciblées. Les activités du projet comprennent: (1) améliorer l’accès des producteurs de maïs à des marchés fiables, compétitifs et durables pour leur produit grâce à la mise en place de centres d'achat locaux en relation directe avec un acheteur agro-industriel d’envergure; (2) améliorer la productivité agricole, des rendements et de la qualité post-récolte du maïs et du haricot grâce à la promotion de techniques et de technologies durables et intelligentes face au climat;(3) améliorer la résilience des ménages agricoles ruraux face aux catastrophes naturelles récurrentes par des activités de sensibilisation à la réduction des risques de catastrophe.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) value-added of the targeted agri-food value chains is increased, particularly for women and youth in the targeted regions, while respecting the environment; and (2) agri-food value chains targeted by the project are better adapted to climate change.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) la valeur ajoutée des filières agroalimentaires ciblées est augmentée, en particulier au profit des femmes et des jeunes dans les régions ciblées, tout en respectant l’environnement; 2) les filières agroalimentaires ciblées par le projet sont mieux adaptées aux changements climatiques.
