Dominican wheat imports are forecast at 622,000 MT, a two percent increase from the last forecast due to manufacturers’ international expansion plans as well as expected population and hotel, restaurant and institutional (HRI) sector growth. Corn imports are forecast to reach 1.59 million MT during MY 2023/24 (October 2023/ September 2024) due to continued strong demand from the poultry sector. Production of milled rice for MY 2023/24 (July 2023/June 2024) is forecast at 590,000 MT, down eight percent from the previous forecast due to reduced rainfall in major production areas.
