The Dominican Agri-Business Board (JAD) and the Center for Exports and Investment of the Dominican Republic (formerly the CEI-RD, and now ProDominicana) put on the 8th Agri-Food Fair, and it was quite successful.
170 international buyers participated in AgroAlimentaria 2023, the largest food and farm produce fair in the Caribbean, Agroalimentaria 2023.
One of the major attractions this year was the “Dominican Kitchen” stand where chefs from the American Culinary Federation and the Dominican Chefs Association put on a show designed to promote Dominican produce and meats. According to Chefs Diana Munne and Ana Lebron, their objective was to promote meats produced in the Dominican Republic.
The list of items presented as true gourmet dishes were prepared using avocados, mangoes, breadfruit, greenhouse vegetables, coconuts, macadamia nuts, among others. Discussion panels included such themes as Slow Food and Agriculture, and the dishes served truly spanned the alphabet from avocados to yautia and zucchini. The presence of Dominican cacao under the leadership of Diana Munne of Xocolat was the true frosting on the cake.
