Page "Economy of Honduras" Paragraph 64

The agricultural sector's output showed little or no growth between 1970 and 1985.

As a result of favorable weather and market conditions beginning in 1995, however, the agricultural sector grew at a rate of 2. 6 percent annually, slightly above the average for Latin America during that period.

Production of basic grains and coffee increased ; the export price of bananas was high ; and pork, poultry, and milk produced for the domestic market increased.

Nontraditional fruits and vegetables also increased in value.
