This project adds value to locally-produced milk. It works to increase milk production in order to increase farmers family income, as well as on commercialization opportunities.

Today Lèt Agogo is also the brand name for the milk products (yogourt and sterilized milk) produced by a network of 10 micro transformation units and distributed across the country with support from many youth and rural organizations. )   

ThEVery year Haiti imports more than 40 million Euros  worth of milk products. Milk is no less than the second category of food imports into the country. 

In deal with this situation, Haitian producers organize and develop sustainable alternate strategies with support from young professionals. Lèt Agogo is a network of micro-dairies supported by Veterimed, a Haitian NGO. 

Today the network is made up of 13 mini-dairies who transforms between 3000 and 8000 liters of milk every day. Let Agogo products are sold nationally . On today's market, they are the only dairy products made from locally-produced milk. One of the network's unique aspects is, its use of technologies adapted to the widespread lack of electricity in Haiti.

About 2000 small farmers are involved in the network. Lèt Agogo dairies are community-based businesses that are owned by groups of young investors and farmers' associations. Their representatives sit on a Board of Directors 

The let Agogo program is partly supported by the Solidarity Investment Program. It is based on individuals who believe in the program and decides to invest the value of a cow or several cows. The investor becomes the owner of a cow that is being bred by a farmer, in exchange of his work, the first veal will be his and the second one will be owned by the investor. Such initiatives provide small farmers with an alternative to fight the perverse effects of globalization and open markets today.      

ECLAC and the Kellogg Foundation honored Let Agogo in 2005 as the most innovative social program in Latin America and the Caribbean
