Prices for vegetables and legumes at Tegucigalpa's Feria del Agricultor have risen sharply—potatoes up 2 lempiras per pound, broccoli up 5, and red onions up 10–20—as drought in major farming zones like Lepaterique has cut production.

Honduras imports over 40 million pounds of avocados annually at a cost of $12–15 million in foreign exchange, and producers say strengthening domestic cultivation across the country's 1,200 farms could reduce dependency and support the agricultural economy.

The Tegucigalpa municipal government and the Agriculture Ministry signed a cooperation agreement to provide technical assistance and climate resilience support to 2,500–4,000 small and mid-size farmers in the capital's rural areas.
