TractorShare VP Visits Haiti, Observes Farming Operations in Limbe Valley
Just returned from Limbe this week (April 6) and saw a remarkable number of
small fields under cultivation--all by hand. The valley is extremely verdant
with lots of water and fertile soil but not nearly as productive as it could be
with a tractor. I took some photos of the fields that show the current
situation. Watch for dramatic changes by early next year. Haiti, at least this
part of Haiti, has everything to be an agricultural success except mechanization
that has revolutionized agricultural production and sustainable food production
in so many other places.
Amities,
