Minerals Yearbook, 1989: Puerto Rico
The value of nonfuel mineral commodities produced in Puerto Rico in 1989 (excluding construction sand and gravel) decreased slightly from that of 1988, from $167 million to $163.7 million. Overall, Puerto Rico ranked ahead of 12 of the 50 States in the value of minerals produced. Over 90% of the minerals produced in Puerto Rico were used locally by the construction industry. After starting slowly in 1989, the construction industry recovered in the second quarter but suffered a setback in September when Hurricane Hugo devastated much of the island. Construction was brought to a virtual stop for over 2 weeks due to power outages caused by the storm. However, the construction industry recovered very strongly in the last quarter of 1989 because structures damaged by the storm were repaired or rebuilt. The report concludes with comments concerning the mineral industries of the other islands mentioned in the title. Their main nonfuel minerals may be sand, gravel, and crushed stone.
