Jean Metellus in " Haiti Une Nation Pathetique" gives us the following info 
about Hasco (Haytian American Sugar Company:  located in Chancerelles, Hasco 
was built in 1915 by the Americans.  Since then it output 50,000 tons of 
processed sugar/year until 1970 where the production start falling.  after 
1970, it had around 3200 employees.  I know that the Mevs family were major 
shareholders in the 90's. I am sure somebody can bring more light to this.
