title:

Produce an article to promote the international prize won by KALEOS, with the support in part of PROFIT, with a view to further encouraging other companies in the private sector to invest in the initiatives approached under the angle of the circular economy, framed by a quality approach, as a source of diversification, empowerment and creation of renewable wealth – in a prism of socio-ecosystem resilience: The partnership with KALEOS is a very good example of the importance of private investment in the agri-food sectors. in the context of Haitian extensive agriculture, but other innovative investments of this type can be locally experienced at the level of production, conservation, processing and expanded marketing, while guaranteeing sustainable additional income for producers and sustainable development processes. The project invested in the strategic strengthening of the sector through the establishment of the cocoa fermentation center in Anse d' Hainault and the breadfruit processing unit in Dame-Marie as well as the regeneration of plots of cocoa by facilitating a partnership of two private companies with local producers. However, given the potential of the area, the initial results, and the needs, other infrastructures and complementary operators in the chain are necessary to better structure the two sectors and gradually derive much more benefits.
