02-Mar-2010 (16 years 3 months 7 days ago)Customs director Rafael Camilo yesterday said the 50% reduction on import fees for poultry and of pig farmers seeks to protect those sectors and cause lower prices of important staples for the Dominican population.
“We’ve applied a 50% reduction in tariff payments on imports of raw material and machinery used to produce chicken and pork, as well as eggs, as a way to reduce production costs and maintain the local market prices on those mass consumption items," he said.
