Study of the Socio-Economic Impact of Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) from 2013 to 2015 in the First Section Anote of the Commune of Moron, Grand'Anse Department

Summary: Licence thesis by Ralph Wendy Junior Despeines (Université Chrétienne du Nord d'Haïti, May 2016) on the socio-economic impact of breadfruit in Moron, based on a survey of 300 farm households whose daily income averages from 4.56 to 73.33 gourdes.
Key Findings
Full Description

The study aims to define a policy for processing breadfruit into flour and other products and to propose solutions to the problems it identifies. It used a participatory method and a repeated random sampling by subgroups, surveying 300 farm households sorted into large, medium and small farms by area farmed.

Average daily income was 73.33 gourdes for large, 20.62 for medium and 4.56 for small farmers. The smallest farmers are the most vulnerable and benefit most from breadfruit, which contributes to their food security. The thesis concludes that breadfruit has a positive effect on living conditions and recommends developing agro-industry so that fruit is available out of season.
