Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Since a long time Haiti was, and after the earthquake even more so, an in-functional. State The great tragedy of this quake is that it affected mainly the more “affluent” people, those who where able to afford concrete houses, meaning that a large number of educated and skilled people who kept the little bit of economic activity going have been lost. After the initial shock now begins the squabble of rebuilding, with many diverging interests and opinions. With todays electronic...

Thursday, November 1, 2007. Links to this post. October 28 to 31, 2007. This storm caught everybody by surprise, the storm developed close to the south coast and dumped 580 mm of rain in 48 hours, more than our whole yearly average of 550 mm! It will be hard for farmers to survive without external help, as recuperation of fields and maintenance costs remain, without the weekly income from banana sales (there is no crop -insurance or government assistance available). Fields which have been underwater ...

Thursday, May 15, 2008. The passing on of a business, especially a farming operation to the next generation is always a delicate and critical endeavour. The transition to a new leader has to made considering his/her qualifications and not on purchasing power. Although I own a majority of shares in our farming and export company, I do not consider a business as an a asset to be sold like a commodity, but rather as a social organism with in which a very large number of people are involved. When asked if th...
