Hurricane Fiona has caused significant damage to Puerto Rico's agricultural fields, including those used for plantain production, potentially leading to a plantain shortage during the holiday season. Secretarial of Agriculture, Ramón González Beiró, has announced that the majority of plantain fields, as well as banana, papaya, and coffee fields, were lost and will take months to recover. The storm is projected to cost the island's agricultural industry around $100 million. This damage comes as a setback for an industry that was previously devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017, resulting in an 80% loss of crop value.
