FAO’s agricultural support for tourism growth in Pedernales

FAO’s agricultural support for tourism growth in Pedernales The Dominican Republic, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is spearheading efforts to bolster production capacities and introduce cutting-edge technologies through the Enriquillo Norte Agroindustrial Center program in Pedernales.
