Dominican Republic: Dominican Republic to Open Pork and Beef Markets to Brazil Creating Increased Competition for United States

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2023-0010

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and Food Supply of Brazil (MAPA) announced the opening of the Dominican Republic market for pork and beef products on August 9, 2023. Although Brazilian meat is subject to tariffs when exported to the Dominican Republic, it is expected that their pork exports will be extremely competitive in the Dominican market, as seen in the growth of Brazilian poultry exports to the Dominican Republic in the last two years. In 2022, the United States supplied 91 percent of total pork exports to the Dominican Republic, totaling US$220.8 million.
