Dominican Republic: US Agricultural Exports to the Dominican Republic Reach a New All Time Record in 2022

U.S. agricultural exports to the Dominican Republic reached an all-time record of $2.2 billion in 2022; a 14 percent increase from the previous record set last year. The increase in U.S. exports was driven mainly by increased demand for consumer-oriented products. The top U.S. agricultural export to the Dominican Republic in 2022 was the category for pork and pork products, reaching $234 million in 2022. This is a 55 percent increase from $151 million exported in 2021. The increased demand for pork products is a direct reflection of the severe impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) on local swine production. High demand for other meat products and consumer-oriented products was driven by an increase in the number of tourists visiting the country in 2022. Dominican exports to neighboring Haiti were also a driver.
