According to a document circulated by Haitian Merchants Associations, the blocking of products will be executed from next Monday (September 17) in retaliation for the alleged decisions of Dominican Associations that prevent Haitians from buying certain goods and bring them back to Haiti

Among the products that will be blocked Monday by these associations, if the situation does not find a solution by then, we can mention among other vegetables : chilli, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and beets...
