Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for cassava in Honduras grew from 24 933 t in 2018 to 27 433 t in 2023, with a peak of 27 870 t in 2022. This expansion was primarily driven by a sharp increase in imports, which rose from just 7 t in 2018 to 1 886 t in 2023. Domestic production remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 25 500 t and 25 700 t annually.

In 2020, cassava gained attention as a potential source of foreign currency and employment, with reported export volumes exceeding 1 600 t. This growing interest supported market growth, as imports surged to 521 t that year. The market continued to expand, reaching 26 415 t in 2021 and 27 870 t in 2022.

By 2024, the Honduran government introduced five new grafted cassava varieties to boost national supply, accompanied by technical support for producers. Additionally, new responsible labeling regulations with nutritional warnings for processed foods and a sanitary control regulation for food and beverages came into effect, shaping the market environment for cassava products.
