Puerto Rico – USDA MPPTA Client Story
In the heart of Puerto Rico, Eliezer Maldonado, Director of Administration and Supervision of Cooperativa de Porcicultores de Puerto Rico (COOPorci-PR), a pork cooperative, is embarking on an ambitious project that aims to revolutionize the meat processing industry on the island. Their dream? To open a modern meat processing plant that not only builds on their existing hog processing capabilities but also diversifies into processing other animals like beef and sheep. This expansion isn't just about profits; it's about addressing a critical gap in Puerto Rico's meat processing landscape.
