Central America Outbound Trade Mission to Honduras

The United States is Honduras’s main trading partner in total trade and in agricultural products. In 2019, Honduras imported about $1 billion of consumer-oriented products from the world. The United States had a leading 36 percent ($347 million) market share. U.S. agricultural exports increased with the implementation of the Dominican Republic-Central America-Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) in 2006. Most U.S. agricultural products have duty-free access to Honduras. Close proximity to the United States allows containerized cargo from gateway cities to be transported to Honduras in 2 to 3 days. With one of the lowest logistical costs in the region, Honduras also serves as a distribution point for Central America. Consumers have strong preferences for U.S. products. U.S. products enjoy a high-quality image among Hondurans. Importers prefer trading with U.S. exporters because of reliability.

This Outbound Trade Mission offers a unique opportunity for our companies! SUSTA will take our Southern exporters to San Pedro Sula, Honduras to better understand the market and meet with key contacts of the retail and foodservice industry. Both established exporters and new to export companies can get a glimpse of the Honduran market in a more accessible way by signing up for this outbound trade mission.
