Dominican Republic: DR Poultry Voluntary Report-Law to Temporally Eliminate Tariffs Coupled with HPAI Concerns take a Huge Bite from US Poultry Exports to the DR

Although exports of poultry to the Dominican Republic are on pace to set historic records in 2022, the United States continues to lose export market share from Brazil. As of June, 2022, the United States has accounted for 56 percent (22,074 MT) of total poultry exports to the DR (64,392 MT); Brazil has accounted for 44 percent (17,429 MT) of those exports after only accounting for 25 percent in 2021 and 0 percent in 2020 and prior. The decline of U.S. share in the local poultry market has come as a result of 1) the implementation of Law 6-22 that temporarily eliminated all tariffs on imported food and agricultural products, such as poultry; and 2) the implementation of more restrictive protocols on U.S. poultry products due to concerns with the ongoing Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the United States.
