Unique opportunity for 30,000 vetiver producers

US$ millions unless stated. Haitian fiscal year, October to September. FY2026-27 began October 1, 2026.

Description

In Haiti, over 30,000 small-scale farmers cultivate vetiver in their hillside fields. Selling the much sought-after roots, which are used to make perfume, provides them with an important source of income. Unfortunately the farmers often harvest the vetiver several times a year or at the wrong time of year. This makes cultivation much less sustainable and means the producers are not guaranteed a good price. The innovative partnership with Firmenich, one of the largest buyers of vetiver oil in Haiti, aims to make sustainable improvements to farming families' production methods and also the environment.
