Puerto Rico farms a pretty good coffee, yet in 1991 had to import coffee pickers from Haiti to do the field work. At the time, unemployment in PR was 20%. Because of the PR social welfare, no body wanted to work

That's an issue in Vietnam right now, too. That, and real estate is going crazy there, so some farms are selling off acreage.
