President Hipólito Mejía met yesterday for 45 minutes with the board of directors of the Centro Dominicano de Promoción de Exportaciones (Cedopex) at the export board’s headquarters in Plaza de la Independencia. Several private producers were present at the meeting, where Rolando Galván and Minister of Agriculture Eligio Jaquez spoke about the possibilities of finding export markets for surplus agriculture production expected in March. The President hopes the country will be able to recapture markets in the Caribbean islands, and ethnic markets in New York, Miami and Puerto Rico.
