Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, March 2018 (IICA). From 09 to 18 March 2018, the Livestock City served as a stage for thousands of people to meet at the 2018 National Agricultural Fair, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Livestock Board. This year’s theme of the Fair, “United for Food Sovereignty and the Promotion of Agro-Exports” adds to the efforts made by the Dominican Republic to promote exports of agricultural products produced in the Dominican Republic. Emphasis was also placed on the promotion of safety in agricultural production.

As usual, the IICA Delegation in the Dominican Republic participated in the Fair with an information stand where the public was informed about the institution, its objectives, the projects that are currently being executed to promote the agricultural development of the Dominican Republic and the main results achieved in recent years. The stand was visited by professionals from the agricultural sector, students, and people interested in learning about IICA’s mission.

The event, which takes place every year, gathered a large number of institutions, associations of producers, cooperatives, among others, who showed the different crops and livestock produced in the country, as well as companies that presented their services and technological innovations provided to the agricultural sector. In this edition, the National Agricultural Fair also served as a space for visitors to acquire local agricultural products, as well as to enjoy different activities such as exhibition and judging of livestock, cultural presentations, among others.
