Agriculture in Haiti

Look at this photo... It's May first in Haiti, a protest banner reads: "Happy holiday of unemployment and importation day" from the Coalition of Youth and committed academics of Haiti - COJEUEH.

Well, they have a point. Haiti imports almost everything. We even import chicken.

C'est le 1er mai en Haïti, une bannière de protestation se lit comme suit: "Bonne fête du chômage et de l'importation" de la Coalition de la jeunesse et des universitaires engagés d'Haïti - COJEUEH

Eh bien, vous devez être d'accord, Haïti importe presque tout. Nous importons même du poulet.

Mezanmi, Gade sa... genyen kèk agrikiltè nan mond la ki itilize bwa bannan pou plante vegetab... Sa se yon trè bon lide ke kiltivatè an Haiti ka itilize paske, chak fwa ou koupe yon pye bannann, bwa bannan lan rete gaspiye...

Men kisa mwen li sou yon blog sou entenet la...

Gen kèk kiltivatè nan mond la ki itilize Tij (bwa) bannann lan pou plante.

Men kisa yo fè...

Yo fè ti twou nan tij la avèk kouto epi yo mete yon ti kras tè ladan li epi plante ladan li.

Sistem saa pèmèt plant yo grandi byen menm pandan peryòd lesèk san irigasyon paske bwa bannan kenble dlo. Epi tou, li pa koute kob paske bwa bannan sa yo disponib toupatou.

Kisa-w panse de sa?

Have you ever purchased a cucumber in a "marche" in Haiti? I will be honest with you I have never, ever, eaten cucumber while in Haiti which leads me to this question: Do Haitian Food Growers Cultivate Cucumber?

Cucumber has a lot of Health benefits including the following:

• Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins
• Cucumber rehydrates body and replenishes daily vitamins, it is mostly water so it helps the body eliminate toxins
