With its own machinery, the Dominican Agrarian Institute (IAD), on the instructions of its general director Francisco Guillermo García, has rehabilitated and built hundreds of kilometers of inter-parcel roads.
It has done so in agricultural projects in the regions of Dajabón, Montecristi, El Seibo, Hato Mayor and Bahoruco, which allows farmers to bring their products to the markets, boosting the economy of those areas.
The manager of the IAD, Juan Francisco Pimentel, said that the entity mobilized mechanical shovels, trucks, clay, rollers, and a technical staff and operators who made the repairs, construction and cleaning of the roads that connect from one plot to another and delivered 50 quintals of fertilizers for the producers of minor fruits of the management in the different settlements.
In the Montecristi management, some 129 kilometers of main and secondary roads were enabled on the different sides of the different ACs, with a number of beneficiaries of 3,100 men and 505 women for a total of 3,605, as well as repairs in 2 populated centers 1.3 kilometers with more than 150 benefited families.
“Thanks to an operation launched by the IAD authorities, under the general direction of the agricultural engineer Francisco Guillermo García, in the Bajo Yaque del Norte, extending to Villa Vásquez, Castañuelas, Guayubín, Palo Verde and Los Kilómetros, they already have a way to go,” he said.
He also explained that a linear kilometer of cleaning of the irrigation canal and repair of two sections of a loan on the AC-32 in the Ranchadero de Guayubín sector were completed. In Dajabón, seven kilometers of roads have been rehabilitated, whose producers had 20 years facing problems for the transfer of their crops, according to farmers from El Coco I and El Coco II.
