“The farm has now been split up so many times that the pie can not again be split, handed down, and support those families.”
This is actually happening all over the world. If you read articles about Haiti, Africa and India the stories are all the same. It’s called “overpopulation” and the sooner we all accept it and start to do something about it (self control, birth control, education!) the problem will only get worse.
“This is why you must invest your time and money into the education of poor rural children. This will allow them to have hope for a future that will help Costa Rica prosper.”
Makes perfect sense. And what a noble way to spend one’s time.

“Culturally, Costa Ricans have split up the farm amongst the male children, the girls were forced to go find a husband. The farm has now been split up so many times that the pie can not again be split, handed down, and support those families. What is a parent to do? Many are looking for the foreign dollar to buy them out.”
What does the future to hold for these families once they sell off the family farm. I have heard first hand accounts of families selling off the family farm, moving into town only to be left with nothing after the money runs out. Does one dare mention…”birth control” in a hugely Catholic country?
My apologies if this question is rudimentary.
Can anyone give some ballpark prices on what it would cost to import alternate energy equipment like solar panels, water turbines, etc.?
For example, let’s say you had a $15,000 solar electric off-grid system that you just purchased and want to import into Costa Rica. Is there a standard import duty calculation, any tax breaks for alternate energy? Etc.
Thanks,
Brian
