Dominican Republic: United States Agricultural Exports to the Dominican Republic Reach a New All-Time Record in 2024

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2025-0002
U.S. agricultural exports to the Dominican Republic reached an all-time record of $2.2 billion in 2024; a 6 percent increase from the previous record set in 2022. The increase was driven mainly by strong demand for consumer-oriented products. The top U.S. agricultural export category to the Dominican Republic in 2024 was pork and pork products, reaching $277 million in 2024. The growing demand for pork products is a direct reflection of the severe impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) on local swine production. The rise in demand for other meat products and consumer-oriented products was driven by an increase in the number of tourists visiting the country in 2024. Dominican exports to neighboring Haiti were also a driver.
