Resumen
La Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo de la República Dominicana procura alcanzar una
economía sostenible y competitiva; integrada, innovadora, diversificada, orientada a la
calidad y ambientalmente sostenible; que desconcentre la riqueza, genere crecimiento, con
equidad y empleo digno. Una economía productiva que aprovecha y potencia las
oportunidades del mercado local y se inserta de forma competitiva en la economía global.
Por consiguiente, el propósito de esta investigación ha sido determinar las potencialidades
del mercado mundial de extracto de Stevia, sus posibilidades de cultivo en territorio
dominicano y la factibilidad de instalar una industria competitiva, con tecnología
innovadora y que facilite la creación de empleos y la generación de divisas. Asimismo, se
estudió la potencialidad del país para el aprovechamiento de las condiciones que ofrecen
los tratados comerciales de libre acceso a los mercados de Estados Unidos y Europa,
establecidas en el DR-CAFTA y el Acuerdo de Asociación Económica.
La metodología de investigación fue esencialmente descriptiva. De igual modo, el método
utilizado ha sido el deductivo para todo lo relativo al estudio de mercado, pues se analizan
las informaciones generales sobre el comercio internacional de la Stevia y el uso de base de
datos secundarios. Así, las técnicas de investigación empleadas combinaron el uso de
herramientas cuantitativas y cualitativas. También, se hizo uso de investigación de campo,
mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario, presentado a dos especialistas, desarrolladores de
proyectos en el cultivo de Stevia en República Dominicana.
Como resultado de la investigación, se determinó el alto potencial y crecimiento del
mercado de la Stevia, a nivel mundial y las oportunidades en Estados Unidos y Europa; la
viabilidad técnica y económica de instalar una industria de procesamiento de derivados de
esta planta en el país. Así como la capacidad de obtener la materia prima localmente,
mediante un plan integrado de desarrollo del cultivo en medianos y pequeños productores
en coordinación del Estado y del sector privado nacional.

Thus, the research methods used combined the use of quantitative and qualitative tools. Also, it made use of field research, through the application of a questionnaire, submitted to two specialists, agronomists and developers of projects on the cultivation of Stevia in Dominican Republic. As a result of the research determined the high potential and growth of the market of Stevia, worldwide and the opportunities in the United States and Europe; the technical and economic feasibility to install a derivatives of this plant processing industry in the country; as well as the ability to obtain raw material locally through a comprehensive plan of development of the crop in small and medium-sized producers with coordination of the State and the private sector
