  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2024-0018
African Swine Fever (ASF) remains a significant challenge in the Dominican Republic. Despite initial emergency response efforts, the disease is now endemic, with outbreaks showing an upward trend in 2024 and continuing to consistently appear throughout the country. A decline in local production due to the disease continues to provide increased export opportunities for U.S. pork & pork products to the Dominican Republic, which are looking to set another record in 2024 after reaching 96,010 Metric Tons (MT) in 2023.
