What is a Cuerda?
A cuerda equals 3,930 square meters (0.971 acres) in Puerto Rico, but varies across Latin America. Derived from the rope (cuerda) used to measure fields, it's legally defined in Puerto Rican land transactions. Coffee farmers traditionally used 0.39 cuerda plots called 'cuerdas cortas'.
