A charity for former United States President Bill Clinton awarded more than US$700,000 to develop Haiti's agriculture sector.
The Clinton Foundation announced Monday that the grants will go toward efforts to plant trees, build a coffee farm and train farmers.
Clinton has been the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti since shortly before the devastating 2010 earthquake. He left Haiti following a two-day visit accompanied by potential investors representing a perfume company, restaurants and a lingerie company.
"The country has been beat down so long ... But, even so, this is a place of staggering potential," said Clinton.
