The island country of the Dominican Republic (DO, Republica Dominicana) is located in the Caribbean Ocean, where it shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. The island lies to the West of Puerto Rico and to the East of Cuba and Jamaica. The DO is perhaps best known for producing some of the world’s greatest baseball players, and agricultural products such as sugar and tobacco. The DO also had established a flourishing processing tomato industry, which was able to provide tomato paste to satisfy the needs of the ~7–8 million inhabitants of the country. This production was concentrated in two areas, Northern production area (around Santiago) and Southern production area (centered on the Azua Valley). The total area under production was ~8000 ha.
