Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
A 5% drop in exports of goods in Honduras was driven by a reduction in the export volumes of coffee (-10%), palm oil (-34%), bananas (-9%) and textile products (-70%) (ECLAC, 2024).
16% is the emissions reduction that Honduras is committed to achieve by 2030, with targets in key sectors and the restoration of 1.3 million hectares of forest (World Bank, 2023).
More than 60% of the Honduran road network is exposed to natural hazards, mainly floods and landslides, affecting rural connectivity and accessibility (World Bank, 2023).
2.4 million people in Honduras faced crisis or more severe levels of food insecurity between June and August 2023 due to below-average rainfall associated with the El Niño phenomenon (WFP, 2024).
1.92 Gt is the total carbon storage in Honduras, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
1174.7 kha is the total tree cover loss in Honduras as a direct result of agriculture in 20 years (GFW, 2024).
1.67% (185 kha) of Honduras' land area is dedicated to oil palm cultivation, the second largest after fruit crops with 0.07% (7.84 kha) (GFW, 2024).
29.1 MtCO₂e/yr was the emission of Honduras' forests, while they absorbed 33.8 MtCO₂e/yr between 2001-2022, resulting in a net sequestration of -4.70 MtCO₂e/yr (GF2, 2024).
569.9 MtCO₂ was the greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation due to agricultural expansion in Honduras between 2001 and 2022 (GFW, 2024).
< 0.1% (4.10 kha) is the land cover in Honduras occupied by agricultural land and 6.1% of the land cover corresponds to pasture (647 kha) (GFW, 2024).
