1. Political Unrest in Haiti The political landscape in Haiti has descended into chaos in recent weeks, primarily stemming from the Prime Minister's prolonged tenure. This has ignited widespread discontent among various factions, leading to violent clashes and a struggle for power. Heightened gang activity has further exacerbated the situation, plunging the nation into a state of uncertainty. However, a ray of hope emerged with the Prime Minister's resignation, offering a temporary reprieve from the turmoil. This development presents an opportunity for potential political reform, albeit amidst significant challenges, including the organization of fair elections under current conditions. Despite the upheaval, the resilient people of Haiti persevere, continuing operations in relatively safe areas despite logistical constraints and security risks. Efforts are underway to adapt to the volatile environment, with cautious optimism that stability may gradually return to the nation. 2. Production Challenges and Progress Production efforts have faced significant hurdles amidst Haiti's ongoing turmoil. The closure of Port-au-Prince's main airport due to heightened gang activity has disrupted logistics and halted shipments, posing challenges in fulfilling orders and meeting market demand. Nevertheless, our commitment to delivering quality products remains steadfast despite these setbacks. 3. Price Dynamics The price of vetiver and Amyris has seen an upward trend, influenced not only by the political situation but also by supply constraints. The scarcity of these resources has contributed to price increases, reflecting the challenges faced in production and distribution amid Haiti's tumultuous environment.
