General Census of Agriculture (RGA) 2008/2009: National Synthesis
Summary: Two-page national synthesis sheet of Haiti's 2008/2009 General Census of Agriculture, summarizing land use, crops, livestock and farm equipment.
Key Findings
- Cropping is dominated by mixed cultivation rather than monoculture, with associations covering the large majority of the cultivated area.
- Haitian agriculture is very weakly mechanised, relying on hand tools and casual labor.
- A summary sheet only: the two-page dense layout interleaves columns, so figures should be verified against the full census volumes.
Full Description
A two-page national synthesis of the results of MARNDR's General Census of Agriculture (fieldwork 2008-2009), covering land occupation and cropping patterns, the national livestock herd, labor, access to inputs and advisory services, and farm equipment. It is a summary sheet rather than a results volume, so figures cited from it should be checked against the departmental and thematic volumes of the same census.
