Description:

  • Manm kòperatif kafe Pilat, ansanm avèk Frè Enel Clérismé, pale sou pwoblèm kiltivatè kafe ap konfwonte. Gen twòp kafe sou mache entènasyonal la, kidonk pri kafe a ap bese. Pwodiktè ayisyen ta renmen pou leta retire taks sou kafe pou yo ka fè plis kòb sou li. Moun gentan kòmanse rache pye kafe pou yo ka plante lòt viv pito. Yo pale sou kreyasyon ak òganizasyon kòperatif popilè a, wòl kès popilè yo, ak represyon vyolan yo konn sibi ak moun ki konn di se kominis yo ye. Frè Clérismé pale sou enpòtans rebwazman.

  • Members of a grassroots coffee cooperative in Pilate, along with Brother Enel Clérismé, discuss the problems facing coffee producers. A global coffee surplus is driving down the price of coffee on the international market. Haitian farmers would like the state to lower tariffs on coffee, as the Dominican Republic has already done, so they can make more of a profit off the coffee they grow. People have begun to cut down their coffee plants to plant other crops instead. They discuss the creation and organization of the grassroots cooperative, the role of microcredit ("caisse populaire") and violent repression and accusations of communism they have endured. Brother Clérismé discusses the importance of reforestation.

  • Les membres d'une coopérative de cultivateurs de café de Pilate, et le frère Enel Clérismé, discutent des problèmes que rencontrent les cultivateurs de café. La production mondiale excédentaire de café fait baisser le prix du café. Les cultivateurs haïtiens veulent que l'État baisse les taxes sur le café, pour que leur bénéfice soit plus important. Les gens ont commancés à couper leurs caféiers pour planter autre chose à la place. Ils parlent de la création et de l'organisation de leur coopérative, du rôle de la caisse populaire, de la répression violente et des accusations de communisme qu'ils ont subies. Frère Clérismé discute de l'importance de la réforestation.
