Food Crop Storage and Marketing in Haiti

In: Development Perspectives for the 1990s

Abstract

In Haiti, as export crop production has deteriorated and the population continues to expand, particularly into urban centres, ‘the marketing system of food has become the backbone of this poor nation, and of paramount importance for its survival’ (Girault, 1984, p. 177). Essential foodcrops such as corn, sorghum, cassava and beans are almost exclusively the product of a peasantry that continues to encompass the overwhelming majority of the country’s producers and that is ‘squarely planted in a cash economy’ (Murray and Alvarez, 1973, p. 15).
