SANTO DOMINGO.- Egg producers are losing RD$4 million daily after the rises in the prices of chicken feed, such as soya, corn and yellow fat, said the former Dominican Agribusiness Board executive vice president Osmar Benítez.
He said egg producers "are desperate" since they can’t bear the production cost of RD$2.50 each, when their in-farm price is RD$1.70, or a loss of RD$0.80 per unit.
The chicken farmers said last year they bought soya at RD$290, corn at RD$190 and yellow fat at RD$700 the quintal, which have currently climbed to RD$750, RD$440 and RD$1,300, respectively.
Benítez, who said the situation worsens with the cost of credit, fuel and transport increases, among others, asked president Leonel Fernandez and Agriculture minister Salvador Jiménez to start a dialogue with the country’s egg producers to know the situation affecting them and to look for internal solutions aimed at lowering production costs.
He said with the ban on eggs and poultry exports to Haiti, the problem now worsens, as an excess would occur, and also asked Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales to mediate before that country’s authorities, to get it lifted. He said the situation will seriously damage the country’s poultry industry.
He added that Dominican Republic exports between 25 and 30 million eggs monthly.

Everybody told DR this would happen if the DR let US imperialists and vile US reactionaries ... the GOPs ... impose "free trade" or CAFTA. The DR ignored the Mexican experience with "free trade." To eat, all the Mexicans have to do is to swim across the river or sneak across the border. DRs however have have to sail to Puerto Rico or to the US mainland.
US liberals in US Congress begged DRs not to succumb to pressure from GOP reactionaries who control the US regime.
What is surprising is how quickly the food crisis appeared and how big it promises to become. It took years of imperialist-imposed "free trade" for the food crisis to hit Mexico this hard.
Just when the Caribbean and Latin America need greater access to the US agricultural export market, the US imperialists behind the extreme reactionary G. W. Bush decide to use a big portion of the corn crop ... the staple ... to make "gasoline."
The article, above, says chickens as well as DRs won't eat or will eat less.

An agricultural subsidy is a governmental handout paid to farmers and agribusinesses to supplement their income, manage the supply of agricultural commodities, influence the cost and supply of such commodities on international markets and destroy the agricultural base of countries that can't afford to subsidize or poorly subsidize their farmers.
The US regime subsidizes, wheat, maize, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, milk, rice, peanuts, sugar, tobacco, and oilseeds such as soybeans. Under a new 2007 US law, corn producers get an enlarged subsidy ... an incentive ... if their crop is used to make fuel.
Between 1996 and 2002, US farm subsidies averaged $16 billion a year, according to Wiki.

US reactionaries and imperialists argue US subsidized agricultural exports will lower the price of food for the people in less developed countries.
In reality, the US subsidized exports will put hundred of thousands of farmers in less developed countries out of business; thus, cutting the annual world food supply produced, triggering a sharp rise in the price of food. NAFTA ruined a million farmers in Mexico and food prices soared.
Countries being slammed by higher food prices should not expect any assistance ... in terms of credit or anything else ... from US reactionaries and vile imperialists who are either indifferent or rejoicing over the food crisis that is coming.
Cuba pays cash for its US food imports, but most less developed capitalist countries can't afford to do this.
What's needed an "Agrocaribe" like Petrocaribe. But none of the regional food powerhouses -- USA, Canada, Brazil, or Argentina -- possesses the vision and humanitarian impulses of Venezuela.

When people are really hungry, they will work for the lowest possible wages. This is why the US imperialists are rejoicing over the growing food crisis, for they foresee the return of an economic sysyem that resembles slavery more than capitalism.

Subsidizing exports is not competition or free trade. US hypocrites call selling thur subsidies "dumping," meaning that the foreign goods sell on the US and world markets below competitive prices, putting US producers and exporters at a disadvantage if the US regime refuses to subsidize.
US hypocrites say this is wrong or unfair competittion until the US hypocrites do it.
Mission Miracle and Petrocaribe are two good things the Venezuelan government does.
Since 2005, for example, Mission Miracle, a Venezuelan-Cuban program, has restored the sight of over a million people in 34 countries. The blind people didn't have to pay to get their eye operations.
Some US blind people tried to use Miracle to get their sight back, but the US regime refused to issue visas to go to Cuba, preferring that the US blind remain blind.

Venezuela and Cuba have also look at another Miracle for HIV-AIDS victims of whom 5,000,000 die needlessly every year for the lack of medication. Venezuela and Cuba are talking about giving the generics versions of AIDS drugs to the victims or to the physicians who treat victims.
The problem with the new Miracle is with US imperialism. US drug companies have patents on most anti-AIDS drugs and prefer that AIDS victims die if they can't raise between $11,000 -- $15,000 for the drugs. [The drugs can be manufactured hi-tech for less than $0.25 a dose] The US regime is aggressive in defending the intellectual property rights of US drug companies over the AIDS drugs, compelling millions of people to die every year. Extreme degeneracy.
Venezuela and Cuba will have to manufacture the AIDS drugs in violation of the intellectual property rights of US drug companies which are aggressively backed up by US imperial regime infested with savage GOPs.
Very dangerous, these bestial GOPs.

Guatemala, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) A year and a half after signing the Central American Free Trade Agreement, poverty has worsened in Guatemala and there is greater concentration of wealth in the few, farm leader Helmer Velasquez denounced on Thursday.
The cost of food has risen and grains, seen as fuel today, threaten to remove the daily food from family tables, said Velasquez.
He recalled that the increase of exports to the United States continue focused on sugar, fruits and minerals, increasing the income of the national oligarchy and the transnationals, which plunder the country.
Others who benefited are the large importers, who increase their profits, but do not pay taxes, due to CAFTA.

1. Don't subsidize US agricultural exports that are likely to destroy the main exports of poor Caribbean countries or, in other words, make US producers compete on a level playing field against Caribbean producers.
2. "Mission Miracle" and "Petrocaribe." If you Google the Miracle, you will find many articles in the bourgeois media which affirm this link.

The 17-member country Pertocaribe supplies Venezuelan oil to poor countries at 60% of market up-front and the remaining 40% financed over 25 years at 1% interest or the 40% is paid for by bartering the exports of the oil importing countries.

Cutting the US subsidies for agricultural exports that directluy compete with principal food exports of the Caribbean is what to do. Got it? Doing the just and fair thing in trade relations by observing the same terms with regard to subsidies is widely understood as something to do with regard to question (1). Obviously, you consider fair competition is when the US imperialism destroys the agricultural base of poor countries by fat subsidies which make US exports cheaper.The strategy, that I support, is to stop the US imperialists from cheating at trade with subsidies.

Totalitarianism is state regulation of nearly every aspect of public and private behavior. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of secret police, propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, personality cults, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, single-party states, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics. according to the dictionary.
dictatorship is an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by a dictator

Remember the US gov't is not a charity, its run as a business. The US has charities to help or aid underdeveloped countries.
I have drank 2 cans of soda today and I feel sleepy still.
Thanks.
Do people in China has the same or similar freedoms as here? I think not.
I guess you think you connered the market with that statement. Offended NO! You have the right to believe that they are better off being in a communist system, I don't. There is no real power of the people.
What do you call Cuba? This is the most pathetic of them all, had it happened in DR Castro would have been DEAD ALREADY....you know it, I know it.
And what do you call Venezuela trying to become a real world power. A child trying hard to get his voice heard in the conversation of adults (to put it lightly).

During roughly the same period, Castro and Chavez gave over a million blind people their sight back.
Who do the US reactionaries say are the bad guys... the US imperialist leaders or the Cuban and Venezuelan revolutionary leaders?
Guess who? Yep, they say Castro and Chavez.
US reactionaries believe it is noble to start wars based on lies that result in the deaths of over a million people.

And I have some travel advice for you, too.
Unlike you, I oppose imperialism and genocide.
Neither Cuba nor Venezuela is either imperialist or genocidal. What would I do there?
Neither Cuba nor Venezuela plunders other countries through IMF, World Bank or direct aggression.
Neither Cuba nor Venezuela lied the United States into a war based on a prolong campaign of deceit about WMDs and 9/11 that has occasioned the lost of 1.2 million human lives.

Sometimes the best opposition is NOT to flee evil; sometimes it is best to face evil at its source.
dictatorship is an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by a dictator
Dreadlocks, these are semantics You have no freedoms, the gov't will dictate what you can and cannot do. the difference btwn dictatorship and totalitarianism is that a dictatorship is based on a military control. And how does a totalitarian govt have to keep its citizens from assembling against the govt. duh.
ok.Lets talk about the next issue which you need clarification.last night i took the muscle relaxant but I am drinking Pepsi.

Sort of. So is the 4th largest economy in the world. Whao, its impressive what they have accomplished, specially with their insufficient energy to be at full industrial capacity or so I read.
I felt like their problems are pretty close to DR's lack of energy, transportation system for raw materials lacking a proper system, the gap between the classes, and for the past 2 decades providing incentives to unleashed entrepreneauralism (whao). Well, its a work in progress. I am seriously impressed. You can say they better get kicking to capitalism, technological advancement, upgrading to meet the demand or else it could become like the former USSR (no insentive for growth).

I learned something today.
:) Thanks...
but its all good. : )
I never get angry from not knowing something, I get educated or learn from it (like China : ) )
I take the good and leave the bad.
Thanks, it was good.
Good luck.
