The executive president of the Rica Corporate Group, Pedro Brache, has told reporters from Diario Libre that the company’s corporate plans include a RD$4.5 billion investment aimed at creating 550 new jobs and new production lines and packing for its milk and fruit juice products.
Brache said that as it approaches its 50th anniversary, the company’s aim is to ensure that Rica products reach consumers in the Dominican Republic and overseas with the highest quality as required by their customers. He said that the Rica Group is undergoing a self-renewal process, which includes expansion and maintaining their position as one of the country’s largest employers.
Brache added that the group has been exporting concentrates and non-traditional fruit pulp in conjunction with the Dominican Agro business Board (JAD) for more than two years. He said that this initiative has allowed 14 communities to sell fruits that used to suffer as much as 40% loss, as reported in Diario Libre.
