Agriculture

Since its foundation in the 19th Century, the production of coffee, sugarcane, small fruits, and cattle have formed the foundation of the agriculture of Adjuntas. During the middle of the 20th Century, however, the production of sugar declined with the arrival of manufacturing industries.

Adjuntas is still considered one of the main producers of coffee in the island, producing 32% of the coffee consumed in the island. Other products produced in Adjuntas are tropical crops such as bananas, citron and peaches.
