Earlier Report Observations

The apple market volume in Honduras grew from 12 004 t in 2018 to 14 982 t in 2023, though with significant annual fluctuations. After a moderate increase in 2019, the market contracted slightly in 2020 before surging by over 3 600 t to nearly 16 000 t in 2021. This was followed by a sharp drop of roughly 3 000 t in 2022, then a recovery in 2023.

The 2023 expansion of the market to 14 982 t coincided with Honduras solidifying its position as a leading importer of fresh apples in Central America. The United States has been the primary supplier since 2009, and apples remain the top imported fresh fruit in the region, supporting greater product availability domestically. A regional trend of declining imports from Chile over the preceding five years may have further shaped supply chains.

For 2024, import volumes reached 15 090 t, though full market volume data is not yet available. Broader agricultural sector challenges, such as rising costs for fertilizers and pesticides, presented a potential headwind for local production, which has remained stable at around 190-195 t annually throughout the period.
