Haiti’s agricultural production deteriorates at an accelerated pace

Port-au-Prince, May 2 (Prensa Latina) The Chemin Délivrance (Road Liberation ) party expressed concern over the accelerated deterioration of agricultural production in Haiti and warned about the impact of insecurity in that sector.

Platforms estimate shows that agricultural production is currently at its lowest level, especially in areas controlled by armed gangs in Artibonite, which have caused the exodus of thousands of farmers to other regions and countries.

The lack of availability of fertilizers and inputs, as well as the absence of public policies in agriculture, such as credits, and technical and logistical support, among others, are some of the difficulties faced by Haitian farmers, the structure pointed out.

Chemin Délivrance also warned about alleged acts of corruption and embezzlement in the budget of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, which affect the union. The party also encouraged state institutions to provide assistance to producers.

Délivrance urged the protagonists of the current crisis to find a consensual solution that should enable a legal transition to be implemented, in accordance with the current Constitution, and to strengthen the fight against corruption and impunity.
