double agricultural exports by the year 2036.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Our strategic goal is ambitious and concrete: to double our agricultural and agro-industrial exports between now and 2036, strengthening competitiveness, opening new markets and guaranteeing quality and safety in every product that leaves our lands,&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;Pe\u00f1a expressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nTo achieve this goal, the Vice President explained that work is being done on four fundamental fronts: training and generational replacement; quality and competitiveness; infrastructure and technology, and sustainability and innovation.\n\nPe\u00f1a highlighted that today they can proudly say that the country produces more than 90% of the national basic basket, ensuring essential foods such as rice, chicken, eggs, and dairy products for Dominican families. &#8220;This means food sovereignty, but also confidence in our people&#8217;s ability to feed the country and conquer international markets.&#8221;\n\nThe vice president also highlighted the importance of strengthening alliances between the government, the productive sector, and academia to ensure a more competitive, modern, and sustainable agricultural sector.\n\n\n<figure

econ\u00f3mico, social y ambiental\u201d<\/em>,<\/p><cite>dijo Pe\u00f1a.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\nHe stated that in 2025, they have strengthened the position of the Dominican Republic as a reliable supplier in global trade, with priority markets such as the United States, Haiti, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, and Spain, and with emerging markets with great potential such as Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Jamaica.\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You can also read: <a

collaboration agreement between the JAD and Barna Management School, which will allow the preparation of the next generations of agri-business leaders, with research and development programs that promote the modernization and sustainability of the sector.\n\nHe recalled that two years ago, he had the honor of participating in this meeting and of directly witnessing the passion, vision, and commitment that characterize this sector and that this exchange allowed him to learn firsthand about the challenges and opportunities facing the field.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote

space to build consensus, strengthen alliances and project the future of our agriculture towards new goals\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nHe stated that this dialogue invites us to look forward with clear goals and with the determination that the Dominican countryside be not only the heart of our food security, but also a key platform for innovation, productivity, and the global projection of the Dominican Republic.\n\nHe called for continued collaboration, with determination and a vision for the future, so that the country&#8217;s exports can be doubled and the Dominican Republic can be positioned as a regional benchmark in agricultural production and trade.\n\nVice President Pe\u00f1a concluded her remarks by stating that &#8220;<em>the future of the Dominican countryside depends on our ability to innovate, to open new markets and to bring well-being to every rural community, demonstrating that agriculture is and will continue to be the root of our
