The Food Vendor - Grain in Haiti

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

"In the past, I could buy three or four sacks of grain for what one sack would cost me today," says Silmani Baltazar, a food vendor in Petionville, Port-au-Prince. Since Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake in early 2010, food prices have spiralled to record levels, forcing residents to cut back on meals and quality of food. (2012)
