National Recovery Plan for the Haitian Coffee Value Chain
- The national coffee recovery plan frames coffee as strategic for Haiti's economy, society and environment.
- It responds to decades of decline in production, planted area, exports and investment.
- The plan is structured around four axes: value-chain governance, capacity building and research, production development and market development.
- It seeks to organize actors, strengthen training and research, rehabilitate and renew plantations, support larger investors and improve market access.
- The plan prioritizes domestic-market supply, formalization of Dominican trade and cautious expansion of international specialty and quality markets.
- Its risk section highlights import competition, poorly adapted zone strategies, lack of common investment strategy, weak operator capacity, harvest and market losses, and loss of trained personnel.
Issued jointly by MARNDR and the Institut National du Café d'Haïti as a working document in May 2015, this is the national plan for reviving Haitian coffee. Its structure is notable for putting its articulation with the government's three-year agricultural recovery program immediately after the summary and before the context and methodology, which places the coffee plan inside a wider agricultural program rather than treating it as a standalone sector strategy. It follows directly from the KOREKAFE diagnostic update of January 2014, which was commissioned to prepare a ten-year plan; the document held here is the shorter-horizon working version that resulted. Note the file is named for June 2015 while the cover reads May 2015.
