# Commodities in the DR: basket would rise 9% in 2027

> The World Bank forecasts its overall commodity index to rise 23.1% in 2026 and fall 7% in 2027, with energy down 11.5% and food up 7.2%. An illustrative calculation based on those forecasts, using 2025 import weights, puts the cost of a basket of maize, wheat and soybean oil imported by the Dominican Republic up about 9.17% in 2027. Wheat and soybean oil account for roughly three-quarters of that projected increase.

## Why it matters

Wheat and soybean oil price gains drive most of the projected import cost increase for Dominican feed and food buyers, even as energy-led declines lower the broader index. Importers face higher input costs for 2027 despite the overall commodity easing.
