Washington, D.C. 20250 INTIODUCTION Under the terms of Contract No. 12-17-07-5-1651 (ERS-192­ B-76), the author has prepared a bibliography of English-, French-, and Spanish-language publications on selected aspects of agricultural development in Haiti. The specific areas co­ vered are credits marketing, nutrition, technology9 income distribution, tnd employment.. Work on this bibliography began in Washington in April 1977. Data collection and bibliographi­ cal research in Haiti were undertakes.during visits to that country in April and in May-June. The annotations were com­ pleted in July. The author is quick to point out that this bibliography, though quite lengthy, is not complete. First of all, a deci­ sion was made to include (with a few exceptions) only publica­ tions since 1950. Secondly, many publications which seemed too narrowly agronomic were omitted, even though they might easily have been considered relevant to agricultural technology. Thirdly, time constraints and the law of diminishing returns dictated that the search for documents had to leave some stones -inturned. Undoubtedly, some studies which should have appeared in the bibliography were not included, and apologies are of­ fered to their authors. Vith a few exceptions, reports by the IBRD9 IDB, and OAS--many of which have a restricted distribution--have not been included in this Bibliography. They should, however, be co'isulted by those interested in a detailed, macroeconomic viaw of the Haitian economy. Particularly valuable in this rspect is the IBRD's December 1976 report, Current Economic tosition and Prospects of Haiti (2 vols.). The form in which the bibliography entries appear is based on guidelines provided in the University of Chicago Manual of Slyle, twelfth edition, though a number of modifi­ cations have been made. For most books and technical reports, the number of pages is indicated. Library locations, with call numbers if available, arc given in brackets. The library may be identified by consulting the list of abbreviations. The following abbreviations are used to indicate subject matter: Cr Credit M Marketing N Nutrition T Technology Y/E Income Distribution/Employment A list of other bibliographies appears as an Appendix ABBREVIATIONS AID Ref.

A re­ gional development program was begun in 1974 after the creation of the Organisme de Deve­ loppement de la Plaine des Gonaives (ODPG).Long­ term objectives of the program are increased production through more rational land and water. use, import substitution in cotton and edible oils, higher per capita incomes, improved nu­ trition, reduced unemployment, and improved sa­ nitation. A major obstacle to increased cotton production is the low price paid to farmers (US$ 0.13 a pound, compared with a world market price of US$ 0.25-0430). Newly formed community councils, it is reported, are still weak. 12. ----.
