Dominican Republic: Food Processing Ingredients

The Dominican Republic´s food processing industry was valued at $4.3 billion during calendar year (CY) 2022 in activities categorized as “food industry” with an additional $1.1 billion for processed beverages and other products over the same period. Meat processing, wheat milling, bakery products, and dairy processing continue to lead the food processing industry. The United States continues to be a strong supplier of meats, edible oils, fats, dairy products, wheat, and other key ingredients. There is potential for increased exports of these and other U.S. ingredients, especially since the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) continues towards full implementation by January 1, 2025.
