stopping by to say, what are you drinking tonight? how do you like your coffee?

There used to be a coffee coop in PR; a politician destroyed it and now the industry is in gov. bureaucracy. Gov. controls price of coffee, except specialty. It has been bad. New administration seems to want to do something about main problems. Farmers not organized, with little hope of that. Stay in touch, and thanks for your interest, israel

Hola, Joaquín, yes, PR still can protect our coffee industry, but Wallmart et al bring nondescript coffee in paying tariffs and still can sell it here. We have major problems, can't deny it, and right now we are fighting hard to get major changes to start forward again. Those of us who produce specialty coffee and market it wisely do fine, but not the others. Present gov. (I am not political) seems to be on right track. Ditto for Yauco Selecto, the experts tell us. I spoke with the farm manager and he said things were not going well--it has gone from owner to owner. Is that Dr. Colon? give me link to article, pls. Spain is in our near future when we solve volume probelms, hopefully this year. We lose most of our crop bec. of insufficient pickers, so we are working on resolving that to act on other markets. Thanks, israel
