Puerto Rico's coffee industry and its wage practices are under scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Labor: starting this month, the agency will target this sector to verify that employers are in compliance with the federal minimum wage.
The third edition of the Puerto Rico Coffee Expo is bumping up its offering this year, integrating chocolate products and suppliers, organizers said Thursday.
As part of its plan to revitalize the island’s coffee industry, Puerto Rico Coffee Roasters has launched an online store on its website to sell Puerto Rico’s premium coffees to the world. Some of the most familiar brands — Yaucono, Café Crema, Café Rico, Café Rioja, Café Encantos, Alto Grande and Yaucono Selecto — will be sold, company officials said Wednesday.
