12. Haiti is a captive market
The  Dominican Republic is set to become the number one supplier of goods for
Haiti,  according to current projections. At the present time the neighboring
Republic  of Haiti is the third largest importer of Dominican goods, with
around US$300  million last year. Exports to Haiti have grown by 46% over the
last two years.  Foodstuffs and building supplies are the principal exports,
especially flour,  eggs, cement, and tin roof sheeting. The busiest export 
points
along the  frontier are Dajabon and Jimani with over a third of all exports
crossing  through one of these two towns.
