Dominican Republic: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
The Dominican Republic continues to be a strong market for U.S. bulk agricultural products (e.g., corn), intermediate goods (e.g., soybean meal), and high value consumer-oriented products (e.g., processed food products), reaching a total export value of $2.1 billion in 2022. Despite a 2015 law that explicitly states the need for mandatory labeling of genetically-engineered (GE) products, which could potentially affect imports of GE raw materials, the law remains unenforced due to lack of regulatory oversight and is not expected to be implemented in the short term.
