Cold chain in the Dominican Republic
Cold storage in the Dominican Republic for perishable trade
Interworld Freight runs refrigerated and frozen warehousing in the Dominican Republic for tropical fruit, seafood, dairy, frozen meats and pharmaceuticals, close to DP World Caucedo, Puerto de Haina, AILA Las Américas (SDQ) and Puerto Plata.
The country is a critical Caribbean cold-chain hub, with a tropical-fruit export economy, a growing seafood industry and medical-device clusters inside CNZFE free zones. With modern refrigeration, 24/7 monitoring and full alignment with DIGEMAPS and DGA RD, we help shippers reduce spoilage, hit transit windows and produce the certificates customs and supermarkets actually request, including FDA documentation for US-bound shipments under CAFTA-DR.

Frozen or refrigerated storage?
Two temperature regimes in our Dominican Republic cold store, matched to the product and how it leaves the country.
Same in both options: Space: Shared or dedicated.
