"where he announced RD$40 million funding for carpenters and vegetables growers".
While there's always a market for more vegetables grown, I have to question the need for growing more carpenters.
I mean, what is the nutritional value in carpenters? Eh? .. I think we should concentrate on expanding agriculture, and funding furniture makers. Just saying...
Going in the right direction DR !!!
En hora buena Danilo !!!
Holland is the second largest exporter of agricultural products on earth.
We should emulate Holland on the subject of agricultural exports.
With intention of being at least close to third place.
They employ over 700,000 people in horticulture exports alone.
Jobs creation is our priority need.
