Florida is a market of 20 million consumers and there are increased opportunities under the DR-CAFTA free trade agreement. Trade between the DR and Florida is worth more than US$2.5 billion a year, of which US$1 billion are exports from the DR to Florida and another US$1.5 billion imports. The volume of trade is high enough to rank the state of Florida in eleventh place among the 25 markets for the DR.
