Applications Open for Trade Mission to the Dominican Republic

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service is accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, scheduled for July 13-17.  Current and potential U.S. exporters interested in exploring trade opportunities in the region must apply by April 2nd.

“With strong economic growth and rising demand for high-quality food in the Dominican Republic, now is the ideal time for U.S. agribusinesses to expand their presence,” said FAS Administrator Daniel Whitely. “This trade mission will connect U.S. exporters with key buyers and help them forge partnerships to tap into this dynamic market.”

The Dominican Republic is the largest economy in the Caribbean and the seventh-largest economy in Latin America. Consumer-oriented products represent the largest share of U.S. agricultural exports to the Dominican Republic, with growing demand across several sectors like beef, pork, poultry, dairy, and related products, as well as fresh fruits and many other sectors.
