More farmer's markets

[NewsWhore]

The Ministry of Agriculture has opened 66 farmer's markets throughout the country, after the success of the initial 24. Minister Salvador Jimenez told El Caribe reporters that the increase in the markets is due to the support received from the public. He said while the new marketplaces are not politically motivated they do form part of the government's program "Eating comes first." There are 16 markets in the National District and Santo Domingo province; 12 in the north, three in the Northeast; five in the Northcentral district; eight in the Northwest; four in the east; three in the south and eight in the Southwest. Products of basic foodstuffs such as plantains can be purchased for more than 50% off regular supermarket prices.
