Luis Mora Castillo

farmer Costa Rica

Luis Mora Castillo, also known as 'Licho', is a 73-year-old former rice farmer from La Pajarera in Ticabán de Pococí, Costa Rica. He dedicated nearly 20 years to cultivating rice, but ceased his agricultural activities in 2022 due to unprofitability caused by falling market prices. Licho's story reflects the broader crisis facing Costa Rican rice producers, as many have abandoned the crop amid increased competition from imports and reduced local production.
