May 1st Agricultural Fair Photos - Part 4

 

On display was rice grown right here in Haiti!

We bought a couple of packages for our sunday meal. It tasted good. It is more expensive than the imported rice though.

Recho Pa'w is a Haitian company who makes stoves.

These small cooking stoves use charcoal.

Jean Baptiste Enterprises makes propane gas stoves.

We have a stove similar to these that we purchased at Valerio Canez.

Haitian charcoal manufactured here in Haiti.

This businessman is explaning the use of a more energy efficient cooking stove that his company has developed.

It is good seeing development being done here in Haiti

These developments are adapted to the Haitian culture, creating a more easier acceptance.

The Prakti stove is what this businessman developed. It sells for 1,975 gds. ($47US)

We listened to the spokesperson talk with a Haitian lady interested in buying the small stove. The key to it , he said is that it uses less charcoal.

This is the sign for the Recho Plop Plop :)

Haitian barbecues made in Haiti. I have seen them in use on the streets. All the street vendors who sell chicken use these barbecues.

We walked down the food booths; each cooking a Haitian food. It smelled good!

We found a place where we could buy a snack for the children and a drink and rested in the shade for a bit.

Than we continued on to visit another area.

The Haitian hats were a hit with these foreigners. They also look like they enjoy the Haitian jewelry too :)

The next area of the fair was about farm animals. Germalot is a Haitian business that deals in animal feed, pharmaceutical products, vaccines and consulting advice for farmers.

This woman was selling white chickens. The average Haitian doesn't use the type of breed pictured. She was encouraging people to buy these chickens.

This fair was great for the children to see. They could learn a lot just by watching and observing.

These chickens are packed just like a Haitian tap-tap!

A signboard posted in the animal area. It was nice and cool walking through this area. The trees provided a nice shade for the animals and for us too ;)

This man was selling rabbits, pigeons, doves and Haitian parrots.

Children looking into the rabbit cages.

This woman was pointing to something inside this pen......

A lizard. I haven't seen any lizards like this in Haiti. I've seen lots of smaller ones but this one is 10 times the size of lizard I've seen.

Stainless steel equipment. Nobody stopped by this booth. Everyone was interested in the animals. I am guessing that they are used in milk production but was too embarassed to ask :)

These small eggs soaking in water are quail eggs.
