Earlier Report Observations
The milk market in Dominica expanded from 8 285 t in 2018 to 8 550 t in 2023. Initial growth was driven by the impact of Hurricane Maria in late 2017, which damaged local livestock and milk production, leading to increased imports to meet demand. The subsequent reopening and recovery of key facilities like the national abattoir helped stabilize local supply chains.
Market volume peaked at 8 639 t in 2020, coinciding with anticipated funding from the Caribbean Development Bank for large-scale agricultural projects in the region, which may have supported trade confidence. A slight contraction to 8 406 t followed in 2021 before a gradual recovery began.
Recovery continued through 2022 and 2023, with market size reaching 8 439 t and then 8 550 t. By 2024, Dominica's economy was growing at 3.5%, driven by wholesale and retail activity, a factor that supports dairy consumption.
