Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic
Join Governor Rick Scott on a Team Florida Trade Mission
to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! The Dominican Republic has
become a significant partner in hemispheric affairs due to its role as
the second largest economy in the Caribbean and its large bilateral
trade with the United States.
With a strategic geographic location, the Dominican
Republic provides easy trade access among the markets of the United
States, Caribbean and Latin America. The country has eleven important
seaports and eight airports, which transport growing amounts of cargo
and travelers each year. The country also enjoys a stable political
climate and democratic consolidation, allowing for favorable foreign
business investments.
The Dominican Republic currently ranks as Florida’s
ninth largest merchandise trading partner, with over $5.5 billion in
exports. The Caribbean nation is the eighth top market for Florida
merchandise exports, which amounted to just over $3 billion in 2012.
Given Florida’s solid relationship with the Dominican Republic and its
open market policies, there are ample export opportunities for Florida
firms in a variety of industries, ranging from telecommunications to
medical equipment, building products and renewable energy.
