Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for milled rice and broken rice in the Dominican Republic fluctuated between 630 800 tons and 673 800 tons from 2018 to 2020.

It then surged to a record 826 600 tons in 2021, driven by a government-backed push for food self-sufficiency that included distributing adapted seed varieties and supporting the entire production chain.

Volume subsequently fell to 757 000 tons in 2022 and further to 688 400 tons in 2023, as droughts and a flood of imported rice exceeding agreed limits impacted local output. In response, the government capped annual rice imports at 23 300 tons in 2024 and applied a 20% tariff within the WTO quota to protect domestic producers ahead of scheduled DR-CAFTA tariff reductions.
