Once certain crops have been raised, farmers can get added value at the market if grain crops are processed into meal or flour. The grain mill projects are invaluable to rural communities because they process grains into meals or flours that are in high demand because they are the basic staples for daily food consumption and caloric intake. Rice, corn and millet are the three major food staples that supply most daily meals of the 70% of Haitian people in the rural areas.
It is critical to food security that certain grains are milled such as corn into cornmeal or millet into flour. Thanks to your support, Lambi Fund is starting grain mill projects with several new organizations in the South and will be reporting more on them in the upcoming months.
