Dominican Republic: Sugar Semi-annual
For Marketing Year October 2025 – September 2026 (MY 2025/26), sugar production in the Dominican Republic (DR) is forecast at 580,000 metric tons (MT). The increase is driven by expansion of planted and harvested areas, which is expected to partially offset the negative effects of reduced rainfall in the eastern region—a critical area that accounts for more than 80 percent of national production. In MY 2024/25, total sugar output rose by 5 percent to 520,831 MT compared to the previous marketing year, supported by improved rainfall conditions. For MY 2025/26, raw cane sugar exports are projected at 190,000 MT, a volume sufficient to cover the Dominican Republic’s U.S. tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 2026). Meanwhile, imports are forecast lower at 30,000 MT, as higher domestic production is expected to meet growing local consumption.
