Abstract

Durante los pasados diez aflos, el PNB de Puerto Rico aumento a un ritmo de 3% anual a precios constantes. En ese mismo periodo de tiempo, el ingreso bruto agricola (IBA), experimento un crecimiento de 0.3%, y en terminos reales, la aportacion agricola al PNB es de 2.1%. La produccidn de frutas representa el 4.8% del IBA y un 19.6% de la produccidn de cosechas, generando un ingreso de $36.4 millones anuales. La importancia relativa de las frutas ha variado durante los pasados anos, y hoy dia la produccidn de mangos es el principal cultivo dentro de las frutas con un rendimiento medio de 19,377 toneladas metricas durante los pasados cuatro aflos, y el 46.0% del valor de las frutas. La produccion de pina, que tradicionalmente era el principal cultivo, hoy aporta menos de $5 millones al IBA. Otras frutas de importancia economica son: chinas (naranjas), aguacates, cocos y melones.
