Mercado Nuevo revitalization project stalls in Dominican Republic

The revitalization project for the Mercado Nuevo in the Dominican Republic has stalled, causing concern for the local economic ecosystem. Although a trust was established to modernize food markets and improve urban infrastructure in the capital's northern zone, the initiative remains paralyzed.

The delay impacts a wide range of stakeholders, including food producers, merchants, transporters, and consumers. The stagnation of this project threatens food security, local employment, and the organized distribution of perishable goods within the country.
