Congratulations to CDVCA Puerto Rico Fund for Growth portfolio fund Semillero Partners, LLC and its portfolio company PRoduce’s Crystal Díaz who is featured in Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business 2022 online and in the September issue of Fast Company.
Díaz co-founded Produce in 2018 to give consumers and professional chefs access to locally sourced vegetables, fruits, meats, and other goods typically not sold in grocery stores on the island. This grocery-delivery app is helping Puerto Rico revive its agricultural sector. Although the island has a tropical climate where crops can grow year-round, natural disasters and economic crises have all taken their toll, and Puerto Rico currently imports 85% of its food.
