The average Haitian consumer cannot afford all the produce needed for the family meal these days

Times are hard in Haiti these days, the average Haitian consumer cannot afford all the produce needed for the family meal.

Yes, you to market and you see all these foods, rice, corne, beans etc, but the money in your pocket, if any, cannot afford to buy it because most if not all these products are imported and you have to buy it "au taux du jour" (at the current exchange rate).

"The Haitian middle class of today exists between poverty and misery," says Haitian politician Louis Gonzague Edner Day.
