This was stated by executives of Helados Bon to the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Mipymes (MICM), Víctor Bisonó, during a visit he made to the company’s production plant, in the Herrera Industrial Zone.
“Other important elements for our industry are not passing on to consumers the high increases in raw materials and electricity, and expanding the import quota for powdered milk, under the Free Trade Agreement between Central America and the United States (DR -Cafta),” said the general manager of the company that manufactures ice cream and other products for national consumption, Luis Fernando Enciso
