iciHaiti - Agriculture : Low demand for agricultural labor
According to the latest report from the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) at this time of year, agricultural activities are dominated by the summer/fall harvest and preparations for the winter campaign.
The demand for labor is relatively low due to low investment capacity by farmers, following a poor spring campaign and the winter campaign which usually generates a relatively small workload.
However, the supply of labor is also limited, with many households obtaining their income from other sources, including migration to the city or the Dominican Republic.
This low labor demand has an impact only on households that have difficulty accessing other sources of income.
