Martelly Agriculture

Here is a picture of a Haitian Kombit. The Haitian President Michel Martelly is participating in a Haitian Kombit.

What is a Kombit:
The emphasis of the concept of Haitian kombit is to have people helping each other. In a Kombit, the entire village is involved and no money is changed hands. It is simply the sharing of products in a communal sense, not selling for profit.
The way a Kombit would be done is that a farmer will announce a planned Kombit day or a day for planting. As many people in the community are invited. They serve food and drinks. Men as well as women are invited and they perform different tasks
