The Dominican Republic can now export green coconuts to the US market

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Dominican Republic announced that the country will be able to export green coconuts to the United States after the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-APHIS) notified the Latin American country that the revised import requirements "went into effect immediately."

The Dominican Republic will export ripe coconuts without shell and water or in the shell (at least 75% of the green outer shell removed) and with water, in accordance with APHIS import requirements.

In the statement, the Dominican Ministry also announced that the Dominican Republic will export avocados to Jamaica for the first time.

The Dominican Republic is one of the largest producers of avocados in the world, with 634,000 tons per year.

The Minister of Agriculture, Limber Cruz, highlighted that these actions create "great business opportunities" for the Dominican Republic.
