The US is the dominant export destination for fresh soursop. Demand concentrates in juice, ice-cream, smoothie, and functional-beverage manufacturing plus wellness and natural-foods retail.
The US authorized fresh Mexican soursop only in October 2024, with mandatory irradiation. Fresh DR soursop under CAFTA-DR carries no irradiation requirement — a real handling advantage.
Fresh soursop from the DR enters the US duty-free under CAFTA-DR. Permanent rate — a structural cost edge over non-CAFTA origins. 3–5 day sea freight to Miami.
