Master Plan for Agricultural Extension (2011-2016)
Summary: MARNDR's master plan for rebuilding agricultural extension services, set against Haiti's structural food import dependence.
Key Findings
- Quantifies food import dependence by commodity, which is why the plan is cited beyond extension policy.
- Haiti imports three quarters of the fish it consumes despite 1,700 km of coastline.
- A preliminary version: it was published as 'version préliminaire' in March 2011.
- Around 60 percent of the population was rural at the time of writing.
Full Description
MARNDR's preliminary master plan for agricultural extension covering 2011 to 2016, issued March 2011. It sets out how extension and advisory services to farmers were to be rebuilt and organized. Its context section quantifies Haiti's food import dependence commodity by commodity, which is why the document is cited well beyond extension policy itself.
