Trade between the DR and Taiwan was up 21.33% last year compared to 2007, says Chang Chun Ping of the Taiwan Embassy. As reported in Hoy, the Embassy imported US$61.99 million worth of products from the DR. The DR exported scrap metal, medical instruments, rubber soled shoes, train rail elements and electrical protectors to Taiwan. Taiwan exported vehicle parts, pumps, poly-acetates, tires, and textiles to the DR. Chun Ping said that the high cost of power and impositions in the Labor Code have discouraged more investment from Taiwan. He said that several Taiwanese companies have been affected by labor-related legal suits by workers, and this had discouraged them from doing business here. This year, the Taiwanese Technical Mission transferred its shrimp farm in Puerto Viejo, Azua to the Dominican Ministry of Environment.
