Quiz.HaitiLibre offers you a twice-weekly column entitled "Did You Know?". Today we ask you, what is the main reason Haitian farmers raise donkeys (bourik) in mountainous regions ?

"Did you know that in certain remote areas, donkeys are an irreplaceable ally for the rural population due to the very rugged terrain and the lack of paved roads ?

Affectionately known as the "farmer's truck" the donkey has a safe foot capable of traversing steep, muddy trails inaccessible to motorized vehicles. It is used daily to transport agricultural crops, firewood, drinking water and people.

Without the donkey, transporting food products from mountain gardens to city markets would be extremely painful and expensive for farmers.

This robust animal, not very demanding in terms of food and very resistant to fatigue, is an essential link in the logistics and commercial chain of the Haitian rural world. It guarantees the mobility and economic subsistence of thousands of families living at altitude.
