An Economy Based on Agriculture
In Haiti, agriculture contributes approximately 20% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs nearly 38% of the workforce.
- Economic Role: The agricultural sector is essential for food security and household income, particularly in rural areas.
- Main Products: Haïti is known for its subsistence crops such as corn, rice, beans, and cassava, but also for its export products such as coffee, cocoa, and mangoes.
Despite these assets, agricultural production is often limited by insufficient access to modern technologies, fertilizers, and irrigation systems.
