The United States is still the Dominican Republic's number one trading partner. Haiti is a distant second, and then come Puerto Rico, Holland, Belgium and the United Kingdom. According to El Caribe, in 2009 the United States imported products worth US$2.51billion from the Dominican Republic, and in 2010 these numbers grew to US$2.68 billion, a 6.77% increase year to year. Trade with Haiti, spurred by the need to rebuild the country after the earthquake, grew by more than 34% in 2010, reaching US$869.6 million. In 2009, the total was US$645.7 million. Puerto Rico imported US$758 million in goods from the DR in 2010, and Holland some US$237 million.
