Economy : The Caracol Industrial Park in figures
09/11/2015 10:55:18
At the end of 2011, the National Society of Industrial Parks (SONAPI) initiated with technical and financial support from the IDB to the tune of 241.5 million dollars, the implementation of the Caracol Industrial Park (PIC) in northern Haiti.
Opened October 22, 2012, the industrial park covers an area of 252 hectares and includes 8 industrial buildings totaling 113,000 m2 of construction on a total of 238.303 m2 planned for the first phase of the project. 75.750 m2 building intended to accommodate new industrial companies will be initiated.
This is one of the most modern industrial parks in the Caribbean. It has its own power plant with a capacity of 10 MW able to reach 35 MW, funded to the tune of $ 35 million by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The power plant of the Park, also supplies electricity to more than 7,800 households and 1,000 micro and small enterprises esident in the municipalities of Caracol, Trou du Nord, Terrier Rouge and Limonade.
In addition, the PIC has a treatment plant of waste water and domestic and industrial water distribution system and a sorting unit and storage of solid waste. It also has its own contingent of police, fire trucks and ambulances.
PIC continues to demonstrate excellent performance in terms of job creation and export. Employment increased to the PIC of over 276% passing and 2,300 jobs in April 2013 to 8.648 jobs currently.
n the coming months the current workforce will increase to almost 15,000 workers, including through the signing of formal commitments with the national company "GOAL" and the American company "Citadelle Manufacturing" which respectively provide for the creation of 6,000 and 300 jobs.
If we take into account the commitments of the largest textile company in Korea, already based in Caracol, the Korean SAE-A (S & H GLOBAL), the total number of jobs in PIC is expected to reach 27,000 in 2017. Note that the Park Caracol support, the transport of more than 8,000 workers from its own bus fleet.
Exports during the first three quarters of 2015 exceeded those at the end of 2014 of 70%. Remember that each job created by the textile sector generates up to 25,000 US export dollars annually.
As for wages paid to employees of the Park, they went from nearly 50 million gourdes in the first quarter in 2014 to over 300 million gourdes in the third quarter (July-September 2015).

Haiti - Economy : A new cement plant of $300M !
26/12/2015 10:53:13
After over a year of technical studies and financial arrangements by international and Haitian investors, a new cement plant "Siman Lakay" whose the laying of the foundation stone took place on December 19, will be implanted in Gonaives in the locality "La Pierre" 2nd communal section of Gonaives (Artibonite). An area chosen for the abundance of deposits including limestone and marl, necessary for the manufacture of cement, according to a study by the Bureau of exploitation of the mines and energy.
This cement plant taht will requires an investment of 300 million US dollars, will be built by the Belgian TSE construction firms and engineering TPF, will allowe to increase local market production capacity in Haiti and reduce our imports. With a capacity of close to 2 million tons of cement per year, the new plant will fill a large part of local needs estimated at 4.5 million tons annually. This is the biggest investment in Haiti in recent years
Construction should begin from January 13, 2016.
This new plant will create more than 2,200 jobs in the long term on the main production site (workers, employees and executives of the various trades that will benefit from adapted and continuous training) "Siamn Lakay" will also offer job opportunities in various locations .
This industrial project can not exist without a stable source of energy, reliable and redundant. Also a 35-megawatt power plant will be built, whose the production capacity will far exceeds the needs of "Siman Lajkay". The surplus electricity will be distributed for the benefit of neighboring local populations.
This cement plant will have other benefits: 6 km of road leading Gonaives to morne Lapierre where the plant will be built and a good part of the road leading to Anse-Rouge, in addition, a village will also be built in the area to house 2,500 employees of the cement plant.
