The National Association of Hemp and Cotton Producers of Haiti (NAHEMP Haiti) was formed in 2002 with purpose and goal to rebegin with the Production of Organic Production, and relance the cotton production and develop the Industrial Hemp in the rural areas of Haiti, as well as the work of our allies in other organizations, the organic community over the last eight years has been able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of consumers to pressure the Ministry of Agriculture  and organic companies to preserve strict organic standards in Haiti . In its public education, network building, and mobilization activities such as its Crop Life Haiti , NAHEMP Haiti  works with a broad range of public interest organizations to challenge industrial agriculture, industrial hemp, corporate globalization, and the Wal-Martization of the economy, and inspire consumers to "Buy Local, Organic, and Fair Made and develop industrial hemp to change the lamentable conditions of the poor haitian peasants ."

NAHEMP Haiti 's overall political program is the Organic Agenda 2006-20, a six-point platform calling for:

• The conversion of Haitian  Agriculture to at least 30% organic by the year 2020, including major reforms in agricultural subsidies and appropriations to help small  family farmers make the transition to organic, develop local and regional markets, and adopt renewable energy practices.
• Fair Trade and economic justice, not so-called corporate-driven "Free Trade" as the global norm.
• A global moratorium on genetically engineered foods and crops of Haiti
• Universal health care with an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, and wellness promotion
