I found the following curious....
Now I though that DR-CAFTA was supposed to have cemented free trading and open up Dominican markets. Why the authorization for imports when that treaty was signed and passed two years ago to deal with just that.

On a related matter, the web site of the Office of the Secretary of Industry and Commerce has a poll were folks are asked pertinent questions about economic matters. One of these questions is " Do you support the importation of food items to confront the high prices".
So far the populace says yes by 79%. Makes sense to me.
