Grand-Anse — Dame-Marie
Haiti · Grand-Anse Department (south-west peninsula) ébauche
The Grand-Anse Department on Haiti's south-western peninsula — the communes of Dame-Marie, Chambellan, Anse-d'Hainault and Les Irois — is one of Haiti's two main cacao zones (alongside the northern FECCANO area). The Plateforme des Coopératives Agricoles de Grand-Anse and the Association des Femmes Solidaires de Dame-Marie have invested in centralised fermentation to position Grand-Anse cocoa for the international fine-flavour market.
