Dominicans want to talk as product ban could cost them 500 millions a year

Jose del Castillo said the Haitian government needs to analyze the possibility of withdrawing the measure which will affect not only Dominican industry, but also Haitian merchants and transporters. He estimated that having the products transported by sea or air as suggested by the Haitian authorities suggested would raise costs.

Interestingly enough, all of a sudden, the Industry and Commerce minister in DR, Jose del Castillo, is worry about the effect of the Haitian.

Question to the editor:
How is making Dominicans lose 500 million dollars a good idea, when your failed state depends on them for food imports and providing jobs to illegal immigrants from
