Finca Explora: An Agro-Entrepreneur Incubator in Isabela

Why this matters: Agriculture is a significant sector in Puerto Rico’s economy.

A former biotechnology research center for the agricultural sector in Isabela has been repurposed to serve a different goal. The site, now known as Finca Explora, is an incubator for agro-entrepreneurs.

The center had previously been dedicated to research for decades, but its focus has shifted. Finca Explora aims to support and foster agricultural entrepreneurship in the area.
