Dominican Republic: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2025-0008
Sugar production in the Dominican Republic (DR) is forecast to reach 600,000 metric tons (MT) due to favorable rainfall conditions through the first half of marketing year (MY) 2025/2026 (October - September). Production for MY 2024/2025 is estimated at 590,000 MT, a 19-percent increase compared to the previous marketing year. The recent decision from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to lift restrictions imposed in 2022 on sugar and sugar-based imports on the leading Dominican producer, Central Romana, further supports the forecast. Additionally, the DR plans to meet the U.S. sugar quota for fiscal year (FY) 2025.
