You asked what we think.
I have difficulty thinking anything very much when we are thinking
economics and development with scarce resources and there is no
mention of the cost of the apparatus and the performance
characteristics of the machine in question and the alternatives.
How much does this machine cost? How much compared to a classic old
fashioned mixer?
What production capacity for this cost?
What is the price of this delivered and ready to go in Haiti?
How easy to maintain?
I not the use of forklift to get it set up ... how much is that going to cost?
Etc.
I know we all want to avoid these questions ... but they are at the
guts of performance in any economic activity!
