Honduras

Honduras is a lower-middle-income Central American economy dependent on agriculture, export manufacturing, and remittances, and is among the poorest and most unequal countries in the Americas.

Remittances from Hondurans in the US are crucial, and the country has battled gang violence, corruption, and the effects of hurricanes, all of which have driven heavy emigration.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include agriculture (coffee and bananas are leading exports), 'maquila' textile and apparel assembly for the US, remittances, and some mining.
