More than ten companies and organizations from Dominican Republic participate in MACFRUT 2018.

In the European market demand for tropical fruits is booming, especially with mangoes and avocados. The products of the Dominican Republic are gaining market share and its presence at the MACFRUT show highlights the importance of the European market for the country's exports.

Exports of fresh fruits and vegetables account for about USD 1 billion in revenue for the Dominican Republic. The United States is the country's main traditional market, but Europe has increased its demand. In bananas, avocados, pineapples, mangoes, dragon fruits.

To strengthen and increase this demand, the presence of companies and organizations in the country is essential for trade fairs in Europe to establish partnerships with European importers.
