The Land Authority shall maintain an inventory of lands available and with the basic necessary infrastructure in terms of paths, irrigation, and drainage that may be available to supply the demand of companies engaged in plant breeding and which could be interested in developing, establishing, and expanding operations in the Island, as well as the current rent for each of the available plots of land. Such rent may be negotiable through an agreement between the Land Authority and the Department so as to make any future project to be established in Puerto Rico feasible.
The agricultural lands in use or with the potential for activities related to agricultural biotechnology shall be identified, classified, and protected as agricultural soils with priority in the Puerto Rico Land Use Plan. This statute shall not render any special law on agricultural lands or reserves ineffective in any manner whatsoever.
