Haiti Open For Business

Reality Check... When will it happen for real?

Answer: Yes!

An agreement has already been signed between IFC CEO, Lars Thunell, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a major South Korean garment company, Sae-A, to develop a globally competitive industrial park and garment operation in Haiti.

This agreement was signed yesterday, Tuesday September 21 2010.

When will construction begin?

I have no idea...

How big is this garment company?

Answer: Huge!

Sae-A is a major supplier for Wal-Mart, Target and other U.S. clothing brands such as Gap, Banana Republic and Levi's.

They have over 20 factories worldwide and they produce 1.4 million pieces of clothing a day.

Where will this new Industrial park be in Haiti?

Well... It's not going to be in Hinche... Tchwips!

The industrial park will either be located north of Port-au-Prince OR... somewhere between Cap Haitien and Ouanaminthe.

These are the two regions designated as centers for industrial development according the the new Haiti National Action Plan...

Wow... Kom si... Hinche pa nan National Action Plan la?

LOL...

Nou bezwen factory Hinche!

No Goudougoudou there...

So... What do you think?

Good News?
