Salvadoran authorities keep on restringing Honduran dairy products from entering the country.
This was denounced by Edgardo Leiva, executive director of the National Federation of Livestock Breeders of Honduras (FENAGH), who added that the sector is losing over $500.000 because of this.
The Honduran dairy industry is requesting the government to file an antidumping petition to milk powder imported by a Mexican corporation.
“A ton is priced at $4.200, but Mexican company Nestlé is bringing it at $2.920. This is dumping, as they are selling it $1.100 dollars below price”, argued Edgardo Leiva, executive director of Fenagh, the Honduran Association of Farmers and Breeders.
