Porto Ricos sugar and tobacco hopes hinge on free markets
A war department report by Brig. Gen. George W. Davis reviewed Porto Rico agricultural potential. Sugar dominates exports with 60,000 tons projected in 1899 from about 500,000 acres, while tobacco faces high duties abroad. Coffee output struggles due to European and Cuban barriers. oranges, limes, pineapples and sisal also flourish but rely on favorable trade. The island risks industrial paralysis without rapid congressional relief, as wages and unemployed workers limit expansion.
