Puerto Rican tried to smuggle oranges, apples and ginger into Dominican Republic

The Ministry of Agriculture, through the Department of Plant Health, has reported the seizure of contraband of fruits and vegetables, at the Santo Domingo pier. He explained that the action occurred when a Puerto Rican passenger tried to enter agricultural products irregularly into the Dominican Republic, which he brought in hidden in his personal vehicle.

“According to information offered by Plant Health inspectors, oranges, yautía, cassava, tayota, apples, and ginger were seized, goods that were incinerated to prevent the entry of agricultural pests and diseases into the country,” the ministry said in a note from the press. He added that Agriculture and the National Directorate for Drug Control (DNCD) proceeded to investigate the person involved in the smuggling and the vehicle.
