A 2010 research conducted by AFDI / CAFSA in collaboration with COOPACVOD showed a significant need for renewal and maintenance of aging coffee plants, as well as technical assistance needs. To address these issues GEF SGP Haiti have funded a project implemented by COOPACVOD that increased the production capacity of its nursery and created 2 small decentralized units to facilitate reforestation. The project at the same time trained technicians to provide the needed technical assistance.
