Santo Domingo.- Customs director Rafael Camilo said the Government and the productive sectors should draft a plan to protect the country’s most impoverished groups, to deal with the potential increase in the demand for food and manufactured items in Haiti, after the situation resulting from the recent quake.

Camilo said Haiti’s situation will spur important the Dominican economy, for which agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors will have to be prepared.

“The Dominican Republic must prepare itself for that situation, because after the process of sending aid towards Haiti concludes, the demand for articles is going to grow, but there’ll be need to be careful with prices so the most impoverished sectors aren’t affected,” the official said in a statement.

The chicken farmers in the DR could not be more pleased because Haiti is their big , juicy $50 million export market.

But in the last few years, there have been problems concerning the export of DR poultry products to Haiti.
