According to a few sites, Haiti imports most of it's rice from the US.  As of 
2005, the US accounted for nearly 50% of Haiti's total imports so you could 
figure that most of Haiti's food comes from the USA also.   Earlier data shows 
that US typically sends roughly 200,000 metric tons of rice to Haiti annually.
