Dominican Republic agricultural wage increases

Overview

The National Salary Committee (CNS) in the Dominican Republic approved a 25% increase in the minimum wage for heavy machinery operators in the agricultural sector. Under Resolution No. 11/2026, monthly salaries will rise from RD$22,000 to RD$27,500.

Labor Minister Eddy Olivares Ortega stated the decision was the result of a tripartite agreement between the State, employers, and workers. This consensus is part of a broader social dialogue intended to support productive sectors and improve labor conditions.

In addition to the base salary adjustment, the resolution updates the rates for various agricultural tasks—including plowing, sowing, weeding, fertilizing, and harvesting—by 25%. Specific new rates include RD$23.70 per task for plowing and RD$16.88 per bag for the collection of rice and corn.
