Rainfall maps for June 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are shown below. Rainfall for June this years is well below normal. El Yunque appears to have received only about 1/3 of the rainfall that it received in each of the previous three years. I am not a forest ecologist, but this seems like a very bad situation to me.

SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA by Dra. Gladys M. González Martínez

For years I have heard that we import around 85% of our food from outside the island, but I had never seen an official statement. Dra. González provides it in this paper along with other critically important data about our agriculture and food security.
