We estimate that we have created more than 1,000 jobs for the processing of these products at the level of producer organizations which are everywhere, in Nippes, the South, Grande Anse, Artibonite, the North and the Center… Net income increased by more than $800 per producer.We currently work with 6,000 producers across 150 organizations” Coverage of the school canteen program is increasing, with the recent inclusion of the North, North East and Center departments. The onjective is to provide a daily hot meal made from 100% local products to all students by 2030.
