Haiti covers the western one-third of the island of Hispaniola, which lies southeast of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. It covers an area slightly smaller than Maryland. The climate in Haiti is tropical for the most part and semiarid where mountains in the east cut off incoming trade winds. The terrain is fairly rough in most parts with extensive mountainous formations. The country has few natural resources and lies in the middle of the hurricane belt.
It is the poorest country in the hemisphere and one of the least developed in the world. Agriculture remains the main employer of the population and is pressed beyond the limits of available land. The result has been catastrophic deforestation and erosion. While only 30% of the land is actually suitable for planting, 50% is under cultivation. Poor farming techniques and low investment also help account for soil erosion. The labor sector is not organized and the workers suffer from miserable wages.
Until 30 years ago, Haiti was self-sufficient in food production, but now must import a third of its food to meet the needs of its rapidly expanding population, which will double in 35 years. However all calculations for population take into account the 5.6% HIV/AIDS rate in adults.
Haiti has around 130,000 Telephone lines and 80,000 Internet users
