Description and results
Description
This project aims to strengthen the maize value chain in Haiti’s Sud and Artibonite departments. Its goal is to improve the livelihoods of 10,000 smallholder farm families through expanded commercialization and sustainable production of maize, along with bean, an essential companion crop. An emphasis is on creating opportunities for women and youth to contribute to - and benefit from - activities that promote added value and climate change adaptation in the targeted value chains. Project activities include: (1) increasing targeted maize producers’ access to reliable, competitive, and durable markets for their product through the establishment of local purchasing centers with direct linkages to a large-scale industrial buyer ; (2) improving agricultural productivity, yields, and post-harvest quality of maize and bean through promoting sustainable climate smart techniques and technologies; and (3) enhancing rural farm families’ resiliency to recurrent natural disaster through disaster risk reduction awareness-raising.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) value-added of the targeted agri-food value chains is increased, particularly for women and youth in the targeted regions, while respecting the environment; and (2) agri-food value chains targeted by the project are better adapted to climate change.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of March 2021 include: (1) completed a total of three production periods (July 2020, October 2020 and February 2021). Over these periods, the project harvested a production volume of 565.11 MT of maize (indicator 1100.1 forecasted 500 MT) and 466.42 MT of beans (indicator 1100.1 forecasted 500 MT); (2) tested two types of aggregation and purchase point models during the first two periods, the third is still underway; and (3) encouraging results seen concerning the number of farmers accessing the aggregation and purchase point services due to their maize and bean production, with 598 farmers already benefitting from the services compared with the 325 predicted for the life of the project.
