In 2023, the Dominican Republic imported coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashew nuts valued at an estimated 13.5 million USD. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady increase in import value, with projected values of 14.044 million USD in 2024 and reaching 16.289 million USD by 2028. Year-on-year growth indicates a relatively stable upward trend with an average annual increase of about 3.5% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include potential fluctuations in global nut supply, shifts in consumer preferences towards healthy snacks, and any economic changes affecting import capacity or trade policies. Keeping an eye on regional production capabilities could also impact import demands significantly.
