Securing Canadian beef export approval to the Dominican Republic is a big win—CMC advocated for this since 2023 and funded the audit that made it possible. With $200M+ in DR beef imports in 2025, this opens new markets and reflects Canada's food safety leadership
After more than two decades, Canadian beef is heading back to the Dominican Republic. This decision restores access to an important Caribbean market for Canadian beef and beef products, creating new opportunities for producers and processors to grow their businesses and reach new customers. We’ll keep working with our industry and international partners to open more doors for Canadian agriculture around the world.

« 95 % de la viande canadienne est sous licence fédérale. Les modifications proposées sont soutenues par environ 0,5 % de l'industrie, alors qu'elles mettent en péril la salubrité des aliments et l'accès à l'exportation pour les 99 % restants », déclare Kyle P.L. Arkin, président et PDG de CMC.
