Grain Imports

Anthropologist Mario Ardón argues that Honduras should invest in 10–30 year agricultural policy leveraging the country's diverse microclimates and hillside farming, rather than importing beans and grains, to address food insecurity affecting roughly 1.7 million Hondurans.

The government approved imports of corn, beans, and rice to manage domestic supply and control prices amid drought, while the agriculture ministry pursues higher-yield rice seeds to boost national production.
