Growing puerto rico LLC will enhance direct producertoconsumer markets in eastern puerto rico driven by the need to support local agriculture following recent hurricane impacts

The project aims to provide a platform for farmers and ranchers to sell their produce directly to consumers promoting sustainable agricultural practices and increasing awareness of the importance of purchasing local fresh products. This initiative will significantly enhance the ability of local farmers and ranchers to generate viable incomes while simultaneously offering consumers greater access to a wide variety of locally grown agricultural products. The project anticipates an increase in the number of participating farmers and consumers alongside higher perconsumer purchases of fresh produce. Through strategic digital media promotion the project intends to encourage local residents to frequent the market thereby strengthening the markets presence within the community. The overall outcome will be a strengthened local agricultural sector and increased economic activity in the targeted communities with benefits for both farmers and consumers alike.
