DELICIA
PUERTO RICO

About Us

                 Delicia Puerto Rico is a portal to the Institute’s programs supporting farmers, ranchers, and food producers in Puerto Rico.

​​​

                  Puerto Rico is a cornucopia of fresh, healthy and delicious local foods, from staples  like coffee and bananas to tropical fruit preserves and subtle cheeses to ancient, climate resistant crops grown by Caribbean natives for a thousand years. The Institute’s programs support their production and marketing through three main projects supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Click on the links to visit the websites of the individual projects.

​​​

                  Mercados Noroeste / Northwest Markets supports farmers’ markets in northwest Puerto Rico, providing farm supplies, equipment, and other support to help develop and stabilize direct farmer to consumer sales.  The project is funded by the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program.

​​​​

                  Agricultura Comunitaria / Community Agriculture helps promote urban agriculture projects like community gardens, innovative projects including aquaculture,  and climate resistant crops such as underground bulbs. It is funded by the  USDA Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Program.

​​​

                  Cultivando Resiliencia/Cultivating Resilience helps Puerto Rico farmers, ranchers, and food producers learn about and access a wide range of USDA programs and services. The project is funded by the USDA Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement and is also known as the 2501 Program.
