Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, March 2018 (IICA).  As a result of the positive impact and evaluation from the extension agents of the Ministry of Agriculture linked to the exports field who participated in the four workshops implemented by the Inter-American Institute of Cooperation for Agriculture (IICA), several associations of producers and export professionals have requested that these workshops be given to their partners and technicians

IICA, as a technical cooperation agency that supports the strengthening of technical capacities through knowledge management, has managed to adjust a schedule with four additional workshops in order to respond to these demands. In this regard, these workshops will be held in the cities where these organizations and export professionals are located, to strengthen their knowledge on the updating of standards, processes, regulations and requirements for the export of fresh products to the United States of America.

The main objective of this project is to update the technical staff of public and private institutions of the standards, processes, regulations and current requirements for the export of fresh agricultural products to the United States of America (Training the trainers).

The workshop syllabus included topics such as: the conceptualization of agricultural businesses, opportunities of national agriculture, benefits and risks of exporting, the ABC of agricultural exports, US market, requirements of national regulations and standards, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the requirements of the US market, among other topics.
