Dominican Republic Agricultural Biotechnology Annual 2014
The Dominican Republic continues to be a strong market for U.S. bulk agricultural products (wheat, corn), intermediate goods (soybean meal), as well as high value consumer-oriented products (processed food products), reaching a total value of US$1.2 billion in 2013. Despite existence of legislation limiting importation of genetically modified raw materials, the regulatory framework to implement that legislation has never been finalized.
