La FAO refuerza la seguridad alimentaria en la República Dominicana mediante la sanidad animal

Over the past two years, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and its partners have strengthened agrifood systems in the Dominican Republic. Their animal health initiative specifically targeted African Swine Fever (ASF), significantly improving biosecurity.

As a result, 25 pig farms, including Jonathan Rivera's (featured in a video), have been certified for enhanced biosecurity measures. Compliance with these standards surged from 35% to nearly 80%, reducing disease circulation and bolstering national prevention systems. These efforts are boosting the country's pork export potential, supporting producer livelihoods, and increasing foreign exchange income.
