Part II: Market and Boutik Focus Groups, Plateau Central, Haiti: Product Inventories, Market Size, Pricing & Turnover Rates

This  is Part II of a two part market study (see Part I for quantitative survey) commissioned by the Clinton Foundation and facilitated by TechnoServ Haiti, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) dedicated to “business solutions to poverty.” The actual research was carried out under the auspices of the Haiti based research company, Socio-Dig. The research was designed to assess the availability and pricing of a wide range of consumer products, including personal and household goods, non-perishable food, as well as tools and construction materials. The researchers also examined sourcing, profit and turnover rates, as well as what products were unavailable but desired by local consumers, in order to assess and size untapped markets in the target region.
