In January 2014, CGEP created the Acceso Peanut Enterprise Corporation (Acceso - Haiti), a private, for-profit company with funding and support from the Clinton Foundation Haiti team. Acceso - Haiti is a peanut supply chain enterprise that provides capacity building and inputs to significantly improve peanut yield and quality, and also purchases peanuts from smallholder farmers at favorable, fixed prices, and sorts, tests and re-sells directly to large buyers and the general market.
SOCIAL INVESTORS:
• Frank Giustra
• Fundación Carlos Slim
11, rue Ogé Petion-Ville, Port-au-Prince Haiti is the address, but there doesn't appear to be much there:

Is this a front for something?
After they set up this "company", Haiti gets flooded with peanuts: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/05/05/476876371/u-s-to-ship-peanuts-to-feed-haitian-kids-aid-groups-say-this-is-wrong

Don't like peanuts? Allergic?

I read up on this story last week, seems that CF set all these farmers up to grow peanuts and then US gov. flooded Haiti with free peanuts ruining the farmers market values. This "help" destroyed the local people more than just leaving them alone would have.

Do you think this was coordinated or ironic?

I have no idea, but whomever decided that Haiti needed peanuts could have easily done a little research.
