T<\/SPAN>he National Competitiveness Council (CNC), the Dominican Agro-Business Council (JAD) and the Pineapple Producers Collective published a technical guide for pineapple cultivation called \u201cBetter Pineapples for Competitiveness,\u201d<\/STRONG> with the objective of promoting the production of the fruit.

Mario Vel\u00e1squez, president of the producers group, followed the same line of reasoning. \u201cOur efforts are oriented toward maintaining sustained growth of production and exports while consolidating and assuring that the country once again becomes the trustworthy and stable supplier that it was in the recent past.\u201d Executive Vice President of the Dominican Agro-Business Council, Martha Fern\u00e1ndez, underscored the effort of the National Competitiveness Council in supporting this agricultural sector and in helping to make sure that our products can compete on the international market. \u201cIt would not be possible to compete if we didn\u00b4t have information good training. With this informational video and instructive pamphlet, the CNC has once again given us the key. We have to train, educate and put in practice what we\u00b4ve learned in order to be able to have world quality products that we can place on the national as well as international market,\u201d said Fern\u00e1ndez. Technical Guide for Pineapple Production <\/STRONG> This material was produced and directed by Mario N\u00fa\u00f1ez Mu\u00f1oz. The research documentary was done by Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Holgu\u00edn. Leo Salazar was the director of photography. The DVD contains three separate sections about pineapple promotion. The first is a documentary video that introduces the viewers to the general characteristics of pineapples, its cultivation and commercial possibilities. It also contains a photographic guide that helps viewers search information about new producers. It contains text that offers detailed information about the cultivation and production of pineapple. The type of pineapple that is being promoted is the \u201cgolden\u201d or MD2. This type of pineapple was decided upon because its cultivation \u201chas produced a strong crop turnout due to the enthusiasm created among the growers based on their new business perspectives, the fruit\u00b4s warm acceptance into the local market, export prospects and acceptance into the international market. The appearance of the MD2 has created a new preference on the world market. The growth has been steady now for more than 5 years mainly in the fresh fruit market,\u201d explained Mario Vel\u00e1squez.
