The news from Dajabon was not encouraging yesterday. The Haitians who crossed the border to purchase goods on market day did not stop at the egg or chicken vendor's stalls, as their country's ban on poultry and poultry products continued. However, Listin Diario is reporting that the Haitian authorities have "promised" Dominican poultry producers that the ban would be lifted this Friday at the latest. Freddy Morillo, the president of the Egg Vendors Association in Dajabon made the announcement.

The Dominican Republic exports 15% of its poultry and 20% of its egg production to Haiti.
