Puerto Rico Becomes Big Pork Buyer From Iowa and Midwest
Puerto Rico purchased 65.9 million pounds of pork from the United States in 1940. Sales of ham bacon and other pork products added 4.27 million dollars to corn belt farmers income as Puerto Rico relies on U S producers for 30 million pounds annually.
