The Ministry of Agriculture (SEA) will be selling poultry very cheaply due to the massive over-production that is currently affecting the industry. A number of government organizations, including the SEA, the Department of Livestock and the National Poultry Commission, are all contributing to the program that will set up hundreds of sales points across the nation to provide inexpensive poultry to consumers. Farmers, processors and other industry members are assisting the government's efforts. Prices will vary according to region, but they will most likely start at RD$11.00 per pound at the farm. RD$60.00 should purchase a frozen three-pound or more broiler chicken. According to Agriculture Minister Salvador Jimenez, the low prices should last during the rest of January and throughout February.
