2023 Partner Report: PISA

PISA
Haiti

PISA, our export partner in Haiti, suffered a very severe drought between December 2022 and March 2023 which negatively affected the size of the main crop in the region. However, they are expecting a strong mid-crop cycle this winter. We are hopeful that political disruptions in the region will ease and open up more trade opportunities. I also hope to be able to visit again after several years of security concerns preventing travel there.

Visiting PISA

Due to the pandemic in 2020 and civil unrest during the years from 2019-2023, our last in-person visit to PISA was in 2018.
