The Baptiste/Savanette basin of the lower Central Plateau, ranked among Haiti's high-potential coffee zones.
Baptiste, a commune of Centre department since 2015, pairs with Savanette to form the Bas Plateau Central coffee basin, which Haiti's coffee institute ranks among its high-potential zones and names as a principal production basin. A 2011 Catholic Relief Services assessment also lists Baptiste and Savanette as high-quality-potential zones. Arabica Typica accounts for roughly 80% of Haiti's coffee area.
