Circular Migration

Honduras will send 2,000 workers to Spain in early 2027 for temporary agricultural jobs harvesting red berries in Huelva, part of a circular-migration agreement that officials say could generate around 20 million euros in remittances.

Labor Secretary Fernando Puerto said Honduras placed 1,361 workers in a temporary agricultural program in Huelva, Spain this year harvesting berries and citrus, with plans to expand to 3,400 placements in 2027 through what officials call circular migration that allows repeat participation.

Honduras launched a temporary-work recruitment program to send 3,000 young Hondurans to Huelva, Spain for seasonal citrus and fruit harvest jobs, with a pre-recruitment tour planned across 17 municipalities starting this week.

About 1,600 agricultural workers from Honduras and Guatemala will travel to Spain in 2026 for temporary fruit-picking jobs in Huelva under circular-migration programs that the Inter-American Development Bank describes as orderly and safe labor mobility.
