A constant influx of remittances and the gradual recovery of the hotel/restaurant sector have been determining factors contributing to a higher demand for imported foods. The liberalization of trade quotas under the CAFTA-DR trade agreement has positively impacted U.S. exports of pork and poultry meats, which during 2021 registered a remarkable increase of 88% and 48%respectively. Other categories with good performance in 2021 were: processed fruit (68%), non-alcoholic beverages (45%), Food preparations (42%), processed vegetables (38%), and bakery goods, cereals & pasta (32%).
