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.
