At least 500 introductions of tropical plants have been tested at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Tropical Agriculture Research Station in Puerto Rico. Potential plants for LPC production have been evaluated and selected for further research, Machinery has been developed which may be suitable for laboratory, on-farm, village level, and commercial extraction.
