Santo Domingo.– The director of the Price Stabilization Institute (Inespre), David Herrera Díaz, highlighted this Friday the national scope and social impact of the programs executed by the institution, stating that more than 2.2 million people have benefited through the sale of food at low costs during his administration.

Herrera Díaz offered these statements within the framework of the Gran Feria Agropecuaria taking place in Ciudad Ganadera, as part of the “Brisita Navideña” program, an initiative that seeks to guarantee the population’s access to basic basket products at affordable prices during the Christmas season. The official reported that the fair takes place from this Friday the 19th to Sunday the 21st of December, from 9:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the afternoon, and has the availability of more than 80 thousand pounds of food, including chicken, pork legs, rice, oil, beans and a wide variety of agricultural products.

“Since we took over management, Inespre’s programs have impacted 2,277,648 people throughout the country, fulfilling the commitment to bring quality food at fair prices directly to the communities,” said Herrera Díaz.

He detailed that, during his administration, Inespre has executed 991 Mobile Warehouses, 1,229 Producer Markets, 16 Agricultural Fairs, and 10 Food Routes, in addition to participating as a guest in 12 fairs nationwide.
