Dominican Republic

Retail Chain To Improve Practices Using USMEF Assessment Results

Dominican Republic retail store chain Grupo Ramos plans to begin selling U.S. meat in August. To help the success of sales, USMEF visited its stores in the Dominican Republic during June to identify areas the meat departments could improve upon to assure consumers of fresh and safe products.

“We have developed an action plan that includes many USMEF recommendations to help improve the quality of our stores,” said Roberto Caram, meat purchasing manager for Grupo Ramos.

The plan will help improve cold storage, overall cleanliness, personnel training and product display in the 50 stores Grupo Ramos operates.

USMEF held a meat management seminar June 21 for more than 30 meat managers to explain general manufacturing practices, hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP), hygiene, cooking methods, cutting techniques and retail display practices.

USMEF Mexico Director Gilberto Lozano provided information on U.S. beef and pork and USMEF Mexico Retail Manager Gustavo Castano talked about meat marketing in retail stores.
