The delegates from the private sector who form part of the team taking part in the Ministry of Agriculture restructuring process have called for some drastic measures, including a huge reduction in the size of the ministry itself. Among the modifications called for by the representatives of the Agro-Business Board (JAD), and the Farmers and Ranchers Association, is to dismantle the Price Stabilization Institute (INESPRE) and the Dominican Agrarian Institute (IAD). Because of these demands, the final version of the ministry’s revamp has not been completed for its eventual presentation to President Fernandez. Both the JAD and the Farmer’s Association labeled the two institutions “completely obsolete”. The two private sector associations also called upon the government to convert the Dominican Coffee Council, the Dominican Sugar Institute, the Dominican Tobacco Institute and the National Grape Institute into private entities and allow the actors within the production sector guide the institutions. Another observation made by the two groups was to point out that there were two entities involved in the forestry sector that were nearly identical in their aims and composition. Finally, it was pointed out that the Ministry of Agriculture employs 18,000 people and the sector exports US$400 million, while in Chile, agricultural exports are US$6 billion and the ministry employs 1,300 people. The Superior Council for the Reform and Modernization of the Farm Sector was created by Decree 278-05 in order to “design and execute a …strategy to assure a productive and efficient (agricultural) sector.”
