The results are not yet complete for 2018 but show a growth in volume and value for pineapple exports.
Although the official data only reports on 11 months of 2018, the results are very satisfactory and show an increase in volume and value for pineapple exports from Honduras.
BCH (Banco Central de Honduras) announced a 20% increase in value for pineapple exports. In 2018, until November the revenue amounted to $32 million and the volume shipped reached 64 000 tons (59 000 tons the previous year).
It remains to count the data for the month of December. The results for 2018 will therefore be very satisfactory. For 2019, the value should reach $40 million.
The main destinations for Honduras pineapples are Europe and the United States.
