With the goal of showcasing a broad range of local products and prove the island’s productive capacity, the Puerto Rico Products Association will sponsor the 4th edition of the “Made in Puerto Rico” fair.
If Senate Bill 400, granting the Puerto Rico Products Association exclusive rights to manage the “Hecho en Puerto Rico” brand is approved, I would probably have to pay the Association some sort of fee for using said “brand” in my headline and surely ask their permission to use it.
The Puerto Rico Products Association expressed its support, but with reservations, of President Barack Obama’s proposal to increase minimum wage to $9 in 2015.
Economic uncertainty has led many companies to face delicate financial situations, often leading to defaulting on their credit. But because good credit management is key to protecting against default, the Puerto Rico Rico Products Association will sponsor a seminar Nov. 14 to provide strategies to avoid pitfalls.
Describing it as an “unprecedented initiation” for the organization, the Puerto Rico Products Association enrolled nearly 90 new member companies into the nonprofit whose mission is to promote and support the consumption of local products and services.
