Executive Summary: The eco-industrial park (EIP) for agrobusiness in Santo Domingo will be located in an attractive location near the Port of Haina and the Port of Caucedo. It will serve as a one-stop-shop for a range of industries, including agriculture, tourism, pharmaceuticals, meat, seafood, and cosmetics. The park will also serve as a hub for local co-ops and small farmers throughout the country. Equipped with state-of-the-art and eco-friendly facilities, the park will provide warehousing and logistics services. It will feature a modern, cutting-edge cold storage facility spanning 600,000 square feet, as well as ambient temperature-controlled warehouse space. This will enable companies to store and transport their goods safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Furthermore, the park will be powered by renewable energy sources, contributing to the government's and investors' commitment to developing sustainable infrastructure in the country. Its strategic location will also provide easy access to major import and export markets, particularly in North America. This will offer American businesses the option to consider the eco-industrial park in Santo Domingo for nearshoring solutions. Nearshoring is a practice where businesses relocate their production facilities closer to their home markets to take advantage of lower labor costs and faster delivery times. This would facilitate increased foreign investment in the Dominican Republic, boosting the country's economy and providing opportunities for local businesses to collaborate with international partners.
In addition to serving as a hub for international trade and investment, the proposed industrial park will also serve as a national food security solution in the event of a national or regional emergency. With the growing population and increasing demand for food products in the Dominican Republic, the need for proper storage and distribution facilities has become a pressing issue. The eco-industrial park's modern facilities and advanced technology will ensure that food products are stored and transported in a safe and hygienic manner, reducing the risk of spoilage and ensuring a reliable food supply for the people of the Dominican Republic
