San José, (IICA) – The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) supports technical coordination actions and the prioritization of efforts by Haiti, the United States and the Dominican Republic to prevent, control and eradicate plague African swine (ASF), a disease that threatens the income and, in turn, the food security of millions of agricultural producers in the Americas.
