As of October 1, Haiti could reject the entry of perishable and pre-packaged foods from the Dominican Republic that lack sanitary registration or fail to comply with labeling regulations, which must be translated into French or Creole, according to a resolution of that country.

In view of this situation, both traders and businessmen in Dajabón have been speeding up the process to obtain a sanitary registration required for the sale of meat and agricultural products such as chicken, eggs and vegetables.
