        Still 2 to 4x the cost of beans from other countries, more than the tariffs.

          The high price is from high labor costs. So, once tarrifs happen, it’ll be competitive, no?

          … and that’s relevant, how? Were talking about tarrifs. Puerto Rican coffee has no increase in tarrifs. Puerto rico grows coffee - not a particularly huge amount of it, (yet), but it’s good (not great).
