Research was carried out on the production of shrimp in Bangladesh; Brazil-nuts, cattle, corn, and peanuts in Bolivia; sugar in the Dominican Republic; coffee in Guatemala; fish in Indonesia; rubber in Liberia; and tuna in the Philippines. The following report is based on research on the presence of indicators of forced labor in the Dominican sugar sector. This research was not intended to determine the existence or scale of forced labor in the countries and sectors under study, but rather to identify the presence of indicators of forced labor and factors that increased workers‘ vulnerability to labor exploitation. Objectives The primary objectives of the project were to: obtain background information on the Dominican Republic (place, people, product, policies, and programs); create a methodology to study the presence of indicators of forced labor in the Dominican sugar sector; identify and document indicators of forced labor among workers in the sugar sector of the Dominican Republic; document the broader working and living conditions that sugar sector workers experience; and determine the risk factors for vulnerability to forced labor and other forms of exploitation in the sugar sector.
