Overview

Excerpt from Foreign Crops and Markets, Vol. 45: October 12, 1942 Production of grains in Honduras is small, and of the principal grain.crops, corn, kafir, rice, and.wheat, the latter two are drown in insufficient quantities to fill domestic requirements. The Government, taking into account the country's dependence on imports of foodstuffs and the probable shortage of shipping Space, in December l9ul directed' that growers double the quantity of grains and other foodstuffs which they had been cultivating up to that time. The principal Obstacles to the success of such a program are indicated to be the limited amount of land in the hands of small farmers, the reluctance of large land? Owners to increase production without assurance of hirher prices, and transportation problems within the cduntry. Corn is by far the most important grain in the economy of the country and one in which it is self-sustaining. Production averages around million bushels, and consumption may be placed at the same figure, since, with the exception of insignificant amounts exported to and.imported from El Salvador, the corn produced is consumed within the country. The small amount moving between this country and El Salvador is determined by the transnortation situation within Honduras.
