Foreign Trade: Haiti’s Path to Sovereign Commerce

Pi Bon Ayiti’s foreign trade strategy redefines Haiti’s role in global commerce. It’s not just about exporting goods—it’s about building a sovereign trade system rooted in local production, diaspora investment, and ethical partnerships. The plan aims to reduce dependency on imports while elevating Haiti’s visibility in international markets.

Key export sectors include agro-processed foods, textiles, artisanal crafts, and natural remedies—products that reflect Haiti’s cultural richness and economic potential. These goods will be supported by transparent customs procedures, trade zones, and bilateral agreements that protect Haitian producers.

Diaspora engagement is central. Haitians abroad are invited to co-invest in trade platforms, logistics hubs, and storefronts in major cities. This transforms remittances into structured economic power and links global Haitian communities with local cooperatives.

The strategy also includes customs modernization, reduced tariffs on strategic inputs, and the development of export corridors through Devlopman Mache Lakay (DML). These corridors will connect rural producers to international buyers, reinforcing territorial inclusion and economic justice.

Ultimately, Pi Bon Ayiti’s foreign trade vision is about reclaiming Haiti’s place in the global economy—not as a passive participant, but as a sovereign partner shaping its own future.
