The Dominican Republic is the regional leader in organic cocoa. Roughly 90% of Dominican cocoa exports are certified organic — a ratio unmatched by any other major cocoa origin. CONACADO (Confederación Nacional de Cacaocultores Dominicanos) and COOPROAGRO (Cooperativa de Productores Agropecuarios) are the two largest cooperative networks, channelling organic beans to European organic chocolate manufacturers in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France. The Dominican Republic is classified as low-risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. The simplified declaration under Annex III applies only to micro and small primary operators. Cooperatives like CONACADO and COOPROAGRO, which aggregate from hundreds of associates, must file the full DDS. EUDRCheck generates it in 15 minutes. €199 per lot.
