Nine months & counting

[NewsWhore]

It's been nine months and still Haitian authorities have yet to allow Dominican chickens and eggs to be sold legally in Haiti. Authorities in the neighboring nation originally prohibited the sale of Dominican chickens and eggs because isolated incidents of Avian flu were reported in the DR. Dominican authorities took drastic measures to contain the outbreak and weeks later the US, Puerto Rico and other nations lifted the ban on Dominican chickens and eggs. But not Haiti. As a result, a black market for chicken and eggs has sprung up to meet the needs of consumers. Hoy writes that Haitian Ambassador to the DR Fritz Cineas has met with Dominican agricultural authorities. However, Cineas claims that new ministers have entered office in Haiti, making it difficult to attend to this situation at the moment.
