On Thursday, poultry producers in the Dominican Republic urged protection of their egg exports to Cuba, a nation that now receives an average of 65 million eggs each month from the Dominican Republic. The Rise in Cuban Egg ImportsIn March, it was reported that Cuba imported around 16.5 million eggs monthly from the Dominican Republic. This dramatic increase highlights Cuba's growing dependency on this market and underscores the strategic importance of the island for the Dominican poultry industry's stability.
