Study will reveal the profile of the Puerto Rican farmer

It will also help strengthen our food security

May 30, 2022. The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute (Institute) launched the questionnaire “Study on the Profile of the Puerto Rican Farmer” with the objective of collecting information, data and statistics on farmers and their crops, as well as incentives received by the Department of Agriculture.

“The information obtained in this questionnaire will help to develop a profile of farmers in Puerto Rico, which will allow us to identify possible barriers and challenges that they currently present. Getting to know our farmers better will help us promote and improve local agriculture and strengthen our food security,” said Dr. Orville M. Disdier Flores, executive director of the Institute, who called on all farmers to invest a few minutes to complete and share the questionnaire with other farmers before June 20. The questionnaire can be accessed through the following link: Farmer Profile Study

Disdier explained that the data obtained will also serve to justify various initiatives, such as, for example, the development of new public policies that promote better services for farmers and aid to improve food production in Puerto Rico. The information collected, Disdier explained, will also make it possible to strengthen data on the Statistics and Indicators of Agricultural Production in Puerto Rico, tool recently launched by the Institute and which is available at the following link: Agriculture.
