Dominican Republic agricultural and ecotourism developments

Overview

The Dominican Republic is advancing several key agricultural and ecological initiatives. In August 2026, the country hosted the first DominiCoco summit in Santo Domingo to address innovation, sustainability, and resource efficiency within the coconut value chain. Concurrently, the Cacao Green Ecoluxury project was launched in the Monseñor Nouel province, establishing a large-scale ecotourism and real estate development within the Cibao Sur Ecological Corridor.

Following these developments, the National Cocoa Commission celebrated its 50th anniversary. Agriculture Minister Francisco Oliverio Espaillat characterized the cocoa value chain as the ‘backbone of the economies of several regions of the country.’ The anniversary event focused on the Commission’s efforts to improve international competitiveness through producer training and sustainable practices, while also noting potential for international cooperation with representatives from the Embassy of India.
