Saw a documentary yesterday called Poverty, Inc[1] and it dives into the rice imports to Haiti. While it's agreed that international aid was a good thing in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, they argued that continued aid to the country has largely destroyed native rice farming by the simple fact that it's hard to compete with something that's free.
Highly recommend a watch if you haven't seen it already. Saw it yesterday and really gave a new perspective to international aid.
