Dominican Republic: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2025-0007
Wheat consumption in the Dominican Republic (DR) during marketing year (MY) 2025/26 (July 2025/June 2026) is forecast to increase by two percent, reaching 520,000 metric tons (MT). Wheat imports are projected to reach 745,000 MT, driven by manufacturer international expansion plans and robust tourism growth. Meanwhile, as domestic corn production is expected to satisfy less than 5 percent of local consumption, corn imports for MY 2025/26 (October 2025/September 2026) are expected to climb to 1.67 million MT based on sustained strong demand from the poultry sector. The projection for milled rice production in MY 2025/26 (July 2025/June 2026) stands at 687,000 MT, up from the last MY. Conversely, rice imports are forecast down from the previous MY at 45,000 MT due to increased domestic production and new trade restrictions.
