@erikaprodriguez photographed Eliezer Roman cutting down weeds on a hillside in Lares, Puerto Rico, in preparation for the next coffee crop. Puerto Rico was once the sixth-largest producer of #coffee in the world. The beans from Lares — a picturesque mountain town about an hour and a half from San Juan — were so special that they were directed to the Vatican. But now, the island is in the midst of a financial collapse with no end in sight. The long period of economic decay has shuttered farms in Lares. “The people who leave come back and tell everyone how hard it is in Orlando, that you can’t survive there without three jobs,” said Elvin Cuevas, who manages the Lares Department Store. “The difference is that over there you find the 3 jobs. Here, you find 0.” Lares, which is renowned for its rich #coffee, peculiar ice cream and a historic, if short-lived, rebellion, now has a far less welcome distinction. On an island where about 400,000 people have moved away since the 2000 census, it lost the highest percentage of its residents — almost 1 in 4. Of course, people have always left Puerto Rico. Elite landowners left in the 1940s. Farm workers showed up in New York City in droves in the 1950s, and others took part in migrant worker programs in the ’70s. But back then, a steady flow of people moved in both directions. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
