Francisco Oliverio Espaillat

politician unknown

Francisco Oliverio Espaillat is the recently appointed Minister of Agriculture in the Dominican Republic, overseeing agricultural policies and support for farmers affected by natural disasters. His tenure has drawn attention due to the ongoing evaluation of compensation for farmers impacted by the storm Melissa, which caused significant crop damage in late October 2025. Despite his public interest in addressing agricultural issues, concerns have been raised regarding his lack of communication with professional agricultural associations, particularly the Asociación Nacional de Profesionales Agropecuarios (ANPA), which seeks a more thorough investigation into the distribution of aid and the criteria used for compensating affected farmers.
