Dominican Republic ’s Agriculture Ministry and pork producers will adopt the joint measures needed to declare the country free of Classic Swine Fever so that meat can be exported, especially to the United States.

Agriculture minister Salvador Jiménez met with the leading pork producers to deal with the situation of the sub-sector, which raises an average of more than 800,000 pigs yearly, and creates thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
