My friend,

You are wasting your time. This page is not really monitored by any of President Preval staffs.

This page was created by people in the US to see how much junk Haitians can fill it with, with words and no actions.

If you have a project that you are very serious about I will give you some references on who to rally up with. Here is a website you can start with export.gov/ and I know this guy who plans on running for the Presidential Office in Haiti and here is his email: montresor2011 at gmail.com

Otherwise, you are wasting your time thinking Preval or any of his staff actually do read this.

Later,

ALSO, REMEMBER TO READ THIS THROUGH THIS LIST OF IMPORTANT NUMBERS AND CONTACTS IN CASE YOU REALLY WANT TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS THERE IN HAITI: Establishing a Business?

Individuals wishing to practice a trade in Haiti must obtain an immigrant visa from a Haitian Consulate and, in most cases, a government work permit.

Transient and resident traders must also have a professional ID card. Property restrictions still exist for foreign individuals.

Property rights of foreigners are limited to 1.29 hectares in urban areas and 6.45 hectares in rural areas.

No foreigner may own more than one residence in the same district, or own property or buildings near the border.

To own real estate, authorization from the Ministry of Justice is necessary.

Hurdles for businesses in Haiti include poor infrastructure, a high-cost port, an irregular supply of electricity, and Customs delays.

There is little direct investment.

In November 2002, the Haitian Parliament passed an investment law prohibiting fiscal and legal discrimination against foreign investors.

The 2002 law explicitly recognizes the crucial role of foreign direct investment in spurring economic growth and aims to facilitate, liberalize, and stimulate private investment in Haiti.

Foreign investment protection is also provided by the Haitian Constitution of 1987, which permits expropriation of private property for public use or land reform with payment in advance.

American firms enjoy free transfer of interest, dividends, profits, and other revenues stemming from their investments, and are guaranteed just compensation paid in advance of expropriation, as well as compensation in case of damages or losses caused by war, revolution, or insurrection.

The U.S. and Haiti have a bilateral agreement on investment guarantees that permits the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation to offer programs in Haiti.

The two governments also signed a bilateral investment treaty in December 1983, but it was not ratified.

Additional information on establishing a business in Haiti can be found at export.gov, then to market research, then Country Commercial Guides.
