The president of the Free Trade Zone Association (ADOZONA) Fernando Capellan has expressed his support for a free trade agreement with Haiti due to the proximity of these two countries. Quoted in Hoy, he said that many opportunities could be maximized, and added that the only way to reduce poverty and social exclusion is to work together. Haiti is one of the DR's main trading partners, but no free trade agreement exists between the two neighbors, making much of the trade informal and subject to arbitrary decisions at the border.
Recently the need for an agreement has become more evident as exporters have complained of price gauging and inconsistent tax regulations at the Haitian border.
