Duty push for 5 cent coffee tariff from Porto Rico
Porto Rico through its resident commissioner Larrinaga and a special commission seeks a 5 cent a pound duty on imported coffee. They argue local product is superior and current U S imports exceed 1,000,600 pounds. The island’s production is about 35,000,000 pounds but could rise to 200,000,000 with a duty, benefiting Americans. The commission met with Congressman Payne Speaker Cannon and other lawmakers at Washington.
