The Ministry of Agriculture and the Banco Agricola have given the milk production sector RD$43.8 million, which will subsidize, by RD$3 per liter, milk production in the DR. The subsidy will benefit more than 20,000 milk producers. This isn't the first subsidy the sector has received. Since December, milk producers have been paid RD$134 million in subsidies.
