Dominican Republic Secures Largest US Sugar Quota, Allocation Up 6.3%

USTR increased the Dominican Republic's raw cane sugar export quota for FY2027 by 11,931 metric tons to 201,274 tons, a 6.3% rise, maintaining its position as the largest single-country quota holder. The allocation, published in the Federal Register, signals continued preferential market access under the US sugar import program. This development reinforces the DR's trade relationship with the US but is unlikely to materially shift global sugar prices given the quota's modest size.
