Haiti is a quick two hour flight from Miami and just two-and-a-half sail days away from the largest consumer market in the world. With rising costs throughout global markets, the demands for speed to market and increased consumer and employee interest in social enterprise, companies want to do business in the Western hemisphere.
The predominant reason investors are choosing Haiti is to be close to the United States. This allows companies to dramatically cut lead times while benefitting from cost savings under the HOPE and HELP Act. Companies want to expand production into the Western Hemisphere, a global trend emerging as nearshoring, and Haiti is a competitive, but not yet obvious option for investors.
