The Dominican Republic has a strong agricultural past that began with the agriculture of the Taíno indigenous peoples and expanded into the export market soon after the arrival of Europeans in 1492. Now the Dominican Republic is working to make its agricultural system competitive in the modern, free market, but there is still much overlap between indigenous staples, traditional exports, and currently competitive crops.
