Saint-Marc is the capital of Haiti's West Department, located on the Caribbean coast about 100 kilometers from the capital, Port-au-Prince, and is one of the country's major port cities. As a hub for trade between the north and south of Haiti, the port of Saint-Marc is important to the regional economy as it mainly exports agricultural products such as coffee, sugar and cotton.
