Dominican Republic’s Minister of Agriculture says he’s looking for a solution to the sugar shortage problem, so he is coordinating the volume of the sugar imports with the National Sugar Institute (Inazucar), producers and businesses.
He said that one of the problems with local production is that the country was affected by drought in 2012/2013 that led to a reduction of in sugarcane production that will obviously affect businesses.

The Minister said that he had spoken with the director of Inazucar who had told him he had met with producers and businesses involved with sugar to establish how much needed to be imported.
