Hucksters Protest Losses at Port; Management Blames Overpacked Boxes | VIDEO STORY
Dominican hucksters protested over poor handling of their weekly produce shipments, claiming that shipments are often left exposed to the elements during offloading, resulting in significant losses.
They have requested the Port Manager to provide tents or shelter to protect their goods, but their concerns have not been addressed.
But the Port Manager says the issue is not just about exposure and damaged goods but poor packaging and lack of common sense by those exporting the goods from Dominica.
