Each year small producers bring in the agricultural sector 7 times more than agro-industrial initiatives jobs income etc.. Despite this family farms do not receive the support necessary to strengthen their activities and contribute to a sustainable improvement of the agricultural system. In Haiti there are hundreds of farmer organizations POs that want to promote the voice and priorities of their producers but their organizational technical and networking capacities are limited.

FOs should be able to participate in sectoral consultations and political dialogue as well as to effect changes in operating systems to improve their production income in quantity and quality.
