SAN JUAN – A feasibility study regarding the reintroduction of smallholder-grown cotton in Puerto Rico is scheduled for release later this month.
In collaboration with the SFA (Smallholder Farmers Alliance), the nation is seeking to move on from the damage done to its rural economies by the catastrophic Hurricane Maria of 2017.
With the support of brands, Puerto Rico will hope to replicate the agronomic revitalisation experienced by Haiti through its cotton reintroduction project – conducted by the SFA and Timberland.
