Santo Domingo.- Herrera Industries Association (ANEIH) president Antonio Taveras on Mon. proposed an articulated push of agriculture and industry to pave the way for “a new economy for a new country.”
He said Santiago and the Central Cibao regions contain the seeds of what could be a great program which accelerates Dominican Republic’s productive apparatus.
“This vision of development would be based on the underpinning of agriculture, industry and agro-industry, strategic sectors with immense potential to generate productive linkage with tourism, trade and services,” Taveras said, speaking at a conference Expo Mipymes Santiago 2018, hosted by the National Small and Medium Enterprises Federation (Fenamipymes).
