The new president of the Junta Agroempresarial Dominicana, JAD, Carlomagno González urged that the poultry sector self-regulate itself and stop criticizing the government. González is the president of the Corporación Avícola y Ganadera in Jarabacoa, a leading national poultry producer. He said that bad planning and not the government is to blame for the present one million-unit surplus. Production is at 12.3 million units per month, while consumption is at 11.3 million. As a result, supermarkets are advertising frozen chickens for under RD$8 the pound.
