San Juan, Puerto Rico — August 21, 2025. The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute published foreign trade data for the month of June 2025, allowing for an analysis of performance in terms of international trade for fiscal year 2025, which covers July 2024 to June 2025. Annual exports totaled $60,652,028,821, representing a decrease of 7.23% compared to the previous fiscal year, while annual imports totaled $56,372,227,806, representing an increase of 4.64% compared to the same previous period. This results in a trade balance of $4,279,801,015, a figure that reflects a decrease of 62.8% compared to the $11,508,357,246 recorded in 2024 and constitutes the lowest value in the entire 2010-2025 series. The trade balance is the indicator that measures the difference between the value of exports and that of imports of goods from a jurisdiction. A surplus occurs when exports exceed imports; a deficit, when the opposite happens. This indicator constitutes one of the main measures of international trade, since it reflects both productive capacity and the level of dependence on foreign goods. In general terms, productive capacity refers to what Puerto Rico is able to produce and sell (reflected in exports), and the level of dependence on what Puerto Rico needs to buy abroad (is reflected in imports).

Study will reveal the profile of the Puerto Rican farmer
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.
For questions or help with the questionnaire, please contact Manuel A. Mangual, project coordinator, at the following email manuel.mangual@estadisticas.pr or at (787) 819-0730.
