Furfural: Dominican Republic boosts global market for a virtually unknown product

The Dominican Republic is playing a significant role in boosting the global market for furfural, a chemical product that remains largely unknown to the general public in the country. While traditional Dominican exports comprise well-known commodities such as gold, medical devices, cigars, cocoa, and sugar, furfural occupies a much more obscure position in domestic recognition despite its notable presence in international trade.
