Haiti - Launch of an irrigation canal cleaning in Grande Saline, Low Artibonite: Disrepair of the irrigation canals in Low Artibonite Valley, Haiti’s main area of rice production, considerably limits the Valley’s agricultural potential. As a result, ACTED launched in early June, with MINUSTAH’s support, the cleaning of a key stretch of North Artibonite’s canal. The aim is to increase farmable lands in Grande Saline zone through significant improvement of water flow in irrigation canals. The project should contribute to a better food security in the area.
