Samples were collected during three periods. During July of
2012, 14 peanut butters and 21 peanut samples were obtained from
open-air markets in Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien. In December
10 maize samples of approximately 1.0 kg each were obtained from
the Telele, Croix du Bouquets, and Croix du Bosales markets in Portau-
Prince. The third period was September through December of
2013, during which 21 peanut butters were purchased around CapHaitien, and 20 maize samples were obtained at four farmer association
depots and three mills in the Nord Department.1 At depots,
where farmers sort and grade the maize as fit for human
consumption or animal feed, representative samples were taken
and kept separate based on classifications described by farmers
onsite. Whole, sound ears of corn were generally directed to the
mill, while those with visible rot and free kernels on the ground
were directed to animal feed. At mills, a sampling probewas used to
obtain kernels from the bottom, middle, and upper parts of storage
sacks weighing 50e100 kg. Milled maize was sampled where
available and included grain for maize porridge (“mayi moulen”),
fine maize flour (“mayi farin”), and bran destined for animal feed
(“mayi pay”). Of the 20 maize samples collected,11 were directed to
human consumption but not yet milled, 5 were directed to human
consumption and milled, and 4 were directed to livestock feed and
included milled and non-milled maize. Each sample weighed
1.5e2.0 kg and was taken from a 50e150 kg storage sack. Moisture
for whole grain samples was measured the day of collection.
Samples were stored at 30 C until milling with a hammer-mill.
