World Bank Delegation Tours Agricultural Projects Across Nippes Department
Mission reviews PARSA and TPR II investments in food processing, water access and fish farming from Fonds-des-Nègres to Anse-à-Veau.
A World Bank delegation, accompanied by representatives of Haiti's Ministry of Agriculture (MARNDR) and project teams, conducted a monitoring tour of the Nippes department this week, traveling from Fonds-des-Nègres to Anse-à-Veau, according to HaitiLibre. The mission assessed investments funded under the Resilient Agriculture for Food Security Project (PARSA) and the Resilient Productive Territories Project (TPR II).
In Fonds-des-Nègres, the delegation visited two processing facilities. A cassava-processing unit run by the Groupement des agriculteurs pour le développement économique et environnemental reported processing about 60 tons of cassava over the past twelve months, producing cassaves, konparèt fòs, flour and starch. In Jovange, Agro-Pasto Service produced roughly 216 tons of white rice in the same period.
In Petite-Rivière-des-Nippes, the delegation visited an aggregation center provided to ROPANIP under PARSA, which supplies fresh and dry produce to 39 schools across communes including Paillant, Miragoâne and Petit-Goâve, as well as a TPR II family cistern. In Abraham, officials toured an eleven-pond fish-farming facility, and in Anse-à-Veau's O-Rouck locality they examined additional infrastructure. The mission concluded with meetings with beneficiary farmers and organizations, HaitiLibre reported.
