Beyond flagship categories, the Dominican Republic exports niche Caribbean produce for ethnic retail and specialty food service. Naranja agria (sour orange) is a year-round staple for Caribbean marinades and cooking; limoncillo (Spanish lime) follows a tighter June–September window. Both enter the US duty-free under CAFTA-DR. Looking for habanero, soursop, or breadfruit? Each now has its own dedicated page — see Related below.
