The General Directorate of Livestock (Digega) reported yesterday that it is participating in the first of eight large regional fairs that the Ministry of Agriculture organizes and will present in its regional agricultural directorates.
With this participation, the institution seeks to contribute to the world knowing all the agricultural and livestock potential of the four provinces that make up the southern regional agricultural directorate, which are: Barahona, Pedernales, Independencia and Bahoruco.
The general director of Livestock, Geovanny Molina, said via a press document that this entity, as part of the Ministry of Agriculture, is following up on the management of momentum and dynamism in all the economic and commercial lines of the agricultural sector promoted by the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, and which is led by Minister Limber Cruz.
“It is a management fair between the agents of the agricultural economy that are, the State, the producers and the private commercial sector”, he informed. In this activity, the southern region and its great production will be presented to all merchants, supermarket chains, exporters, certifiers and embassies.
The activity will also allow producers to have the opportunity to publicize what they produce, to interact, with the aim of opening new windows for local and international business, and for agriculture to continue to be sustainable and profitable.
It is estimated that new lines and commercial and interstate economic relations should emerge from this journey.
The South Zone Agricultural Region represents an area of high importance in the Dominican agricultural production in lines necessary for feeding its inhabitants and in the export section, such as: banana, yam, banana, lemon, avocado, pitahaya and sorghum, among others.
