What I’ve been saying all along. Our approach to aiding Haiti has killed off their economy, who can compete with free food, or free doctors?
We’re turning them into another welfare satellite.
After all, the Louisiana cane farmers need their sugar price support, so stop wasting our tax dollars on starving Haitians.

I was in Haiti for a week in February and was amazed at all the bags of American rice for sale, and the sheer volume of donated clothes and shoes for sale. I remarked at the time that at least it creates an economy of some sort, if they’re reselling the same items 10 times and it all just circulates around the country...
If it’s actually only 1.4% of their peanut production, I can’t see how that would bother the economy or peanut farming.
