The Dominican government has agreed to supply Haiti with propane gas in order to reduce the demand for charcoal in the neighboring country. Minister of Industry and Commerce Angel Lockward said the DR will supply 500,000 gallons of propane to Haiti. To supply Haiti, Dominican based companies need to increase their imports. The fuel will be sold at market cost. Lockward made the statement during a visit to the Listin Diario newspaper for an interview, together with Haiti?s Minister of Industry and Commerce, Stanley Theard. He said the government has authorized Dominican companies to sell Haiti all the propane gas it requires. Propane purchased here is cheaper than that being sold in Haiti today.
