Dominican Republic: Retail Foods Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2024-0014
The Dominican Republic (DR) is the third-largest export market in the Western Hemisphere for U.S. consumer-oriented products. In 2023, U.S. exports of these products to the DR exceeded $1 billion, largely due to strong demand from foreign tourism and the retail sector. During the first seven months of 2024, U.S. consumer-oriented exports to the DR reached over $670 million, marking a 7-percent increase compared to the same period last year. As this trade category continues to expand, the United States is well-positioned to further strengthen its role as the leading supplier of consumer-oriented agricultural products to the Dominican Republic, holding a market share of over 45 percent.
