The government of Haiti is not competent to resolve the environmental problem of Haiti. We are in presence of a government that can only deal with crisis. Just imagine that it takes years for the environment to reach this level of degradation, the government will not have this as a direct challenge; consequently, seach problem will be put in the back burner.

In 1999, there was a 15-year Environment Action Plan, for Haiti. The authority at the time, proposed to stop deforestation by developing alternative fuel sources. We are now in 2013, with only two years left in the plan, the problem has gotten worse

Haiti ranks among the top ten world producers of mango fruits and it is one of the main fruits grown in the country.
The Haitian mango francisque is one of the most popular varieties in the international markets and the only mango exported due to its compliance with USDA/APHIS certification requirements. Francisque Mango accounts for about 15% of the total mango production and many Haitian farmers grow this type of mango in the Central Plateau.

Francisque Mango is the main product variety marketed outside of the country. It receive world wide recognition and love. They are plump, juicy mangoes with lots of fruit on them. Once they are ripe, Francisque Mangos are soft with an orange or gold freckled skin. The have a rich, fresh, smooth, and distinct tropical flavor.

Francisque Mango is unique to Haiti. The Dominican Republic tried to implant these trees home, hoping to take advantage of its international reputation, it did not work for them. They have not been able to produce the variety that seems to exist only in Haiti due to difference in the regional climatic conditions.
