Big potential exploited in-situ

A traditional crop, the avocado is an integral part of the Dominican landscape, putting the country among the world leaders in terms of quantities produced. It enjoys good pedoclimatic conditions and high local consumption. However, its export performances are still well below the level that could be expected, with annual volumes stagnating at around 20 000 tonnes for the past decade. Shipments remain focused on tropical varieties aimed at the US East Coast, although small-scale Hass production was established around twenty years ago, without any notable developments to date.
