Obviously it is legally a territory of the US and Puerto Ricans are American citizens but it's not one of the 50 states.

- heartbreak 9y agoIt contributes to GDP, so why shouldn't it contribute to coffee production stats?
- ocb 9y agoBecause it's distinct culturally and politically from the 50 states and (along with the US's other territories) therefore not always necessarily included when one is discussing the United States. Nor do its inhabitants necessarily identify as Americans. I'm not sure why you're being so pedantic, anyways. I was just hinting at a reason for why the author of this article didn't mention Puerto Rico when they said that Hawaii was the only place in the US where serious coffee cultivation occurs.
