Honduras - 1.1 Humanitarian Background
Disasters, Conflicts and Migration

Natural Disasters |
||
|---|---|---|
|
Type |
Occurs |
Comments / Details |
|
Drought |
Yes |
In recent years (2014-2019), the increasing trends of longer droughts in certain areas of the country, related to the weather phenomenon of El Nino and increasingly heavy rains from depressions or tropical storms elsewhere, have had a devastating effect and incurred high costs.
Probability of Drought:
|
|
Earthquakes |
Yes |
Northern Central America (NCA) is the area with the highest risk of disasters in Central America, being one of the areas most affected by extreme geo-climatic events such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and droughts. Honduras, being in the Ring of Fire zone, is prone to earthquakes, however, these are not frequent or of great magnitude.
Earthquake Probability
|
|
Epidemics |
Yes |
Floods or storms produce increases in epidemics, with a boom in cases of diarrhea, respiratory diseases (ARI) and all those associated with the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. For example, after Mitch, cases of diarrhea increased by 20%. |
|
Extreme Temperatures |
No |
The historical average temperature of the country is located at 25.3 ºC, and an increase of half a degree is forecast in the coming years, although with variations between the different regions of the country. In this way, while in the regions of Choluteca and Valle the maximum temperature reaches 30 degrees, in the peak of Celaque the minimum recorded is 12 ° C.251 Up to 600 meters high the average temperature is around 26 ° C, as in the lowlands of the Caribbean Sea. At altitude between 601 and 2,100 m the recorded temperature ranges between 16 and 24 °C, while above 2,101 m the average temperature is 16 ° C. In the Pacific, the department of Choluteca is characterized by a dry climate with average annual temperatures of 28 ° C. |
|
Floods |
Yes |
The Honduran territory is especially vulnerable to tropical cyclones and hurricanes, whose number has increased in the last decade, especially between the months of June and November. The country suffers a hurricane every 25 to 30 years, while storms are more frequent: one every three to five years (especially in the period between September and October). The tropical storms and cyclones that affect Honduras originate predominantly in the Atlantic Ocean, north and east of the country. According to IISD (2013), the cyclone season runs from June to November, although some cyclones of great intensity have been recorded in the month of May.
Flood Probability:
|
|
Insect Infestation |
Yes |
Temperatures have risen 2°C in the last ten years," leading to shrinking harvests, increased deforestation, and increased pests and epidemics. During 2014, the Institute of Forest Sciences detected 7,528 weevil attacks, mostly in the departments of Olancho, Yoro and Francisco Morazán, for a total of 15,242 ha and 217,573 m3 of pine wood. Locusts are a threat to crops in the country and these tend to proliferate when temperatures rise. However, ARSA together with SENASA undertake early actions to control the pest. |
|
Mudslides |
Yes |
For FAO (2012), deforestation causes erosion and soil degradation, which affect increased floods, landslides, sedimentation of rivers, loss of water sources and disappearance of rivers for several months a year. La Paz is the Honduran department most threatened by landslides, with 20.22% of its territory. In Intibucá, 20.13% of the department is threatened by landslides, followed by Lempira (19.98%) and Comayagua (18.87%). |
|
Volcanic Eruptions |
No |
In the Honduran territory no active volcanoes have been located (only 4 holocene volcanoes), which are El Tigre, Zacate Grande, Lake Yojoa, and Isla Útila in an inactive state; of which the date of its last eruption is unknown (Trombley, 2008). |
|
High Waves / Surges |
Yes |
Storm surges are more frequent on the Pacific coast than in the Caribbean Sea. It is a phenomenon associated with abnormal waves in the central Pacific, with almost annual frequency. 5.1% of the national territory presents a high threat to tides and swells, concentrated in five of the eighteen departments. The department most affected by tides and tides is the Bay Islands, where 43.66% of the area is at risk, followed by Valle (28.82%), Gracias a Dios (13.75%) and Choluteca (8.45%). |
|
Wildfires |
Yes |
Forest fires are recurrent in Honduras and are a threat that increases in periods of drought, whose increase can lead, to which also contributes the decreasing forest density of the country, which would produce a vicious circle between drought and forest fires. Along with drought, high temperatures and strong winds are the main natural causes of forest fires in the country (ISDR, 2014). However, of forest fires are caused by human activities: in 2014, 72% of forest fires were by criminal hands, and 12% by agricultural burning. |

Other Comments |
Countries like Honduras have less economic diversification and are more dependent on agriculture, and their lower income and savings, as well as poor education and health, make households vulnerable to the effects of climate change. |

|
Man-Made Issues |
||
|
Civil Strife |
No |
|
|
International Conflict |
Yes |
The Gulf of Fonseca has historically been a source of conflict between El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. And despite its beauty and an illustrious past, it is also one of the poorest areas of Central America. The main problem is the lack of delimitation of the waters, although the first attempt in this direction was made in 1880 and it was in 1917 when the Central American Court of Justice expressed itself for the first time in the matter. And the matter also went to be considered by the same International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague after El Salvador and Honduras appealed to the court to settle a dispute over an island of half a square kilometer called Conejo. In its 1992 resolution, the ICJ determined that both states had exclusive sovereignty over a strip of three miles from their coast but assigned the administration of the rest of the waters of the gulf to the three countries that share it. And the lack of precise delimitation has continued to generate conflicts, with the military shooting at fishermen they accuse of fishing in foreign waters and presidents threatened with the use of air power to defend their sovereignty. |
|
Internally Displaced Persons |
Yes |
Widespread violence is the leading cause of internal displacement in Honduras. The presence of groups linked to criminal activities, organized in maras or gangs, as well as the territorial dispute of gangs dedicated to drug trafficking, are the main engines of this violence. The country's two main cities: Tegucigalpa, the capital, and San Pedro Sula, an industrial city, have figured in recent years at the top of the list of the most violent cities in the world, with homicide rates ranging between 40 and 55, respectively, per 100,000 inhabitants. Since 2013, the Government of Honduras has recognized the problem of forced displacement due to violence in the country. To address its impact, it created the Inter-Institutional Commission for the Protection of Persons Displaced by Violence (CIPPDV), whose objective is to "promote the formulation of policies and the adoption of measures for the prevention of forced displacement due to violence, as well as care, protection and solutions for displaced persons and their families." |
|
Refugees Present |
|
The urgent humanitarian needs of displaced persons, refugees and migrants arriving, transiting or returning to the region exacerbate existing challenges and exacerbate gaps in governance and crisis response and in access to basic services for migrants. 701,000 encounters in 2021 between the U.S. Border Patrol and migrants in transit originating from northern Central America. 795,000 people returned between 2017 and 2021 of which 39.68% come from Honduras. 740,000 asylum applications between 2019 and 2021 in the US and Mexico from people from northern Central America. |
|
Landmines / UXO Presence |
Yes |
This was generated as a result of the cold war (80's): - Laying of A/P mines, in border areas: Honduras and Nicaragua. - Loss of life and persons crippled were recorded. - Crop areas affected by the effect of mines. - Negative effects on the regional economy. |
|
Other Comments |
Honduras is in a complex humanitarian crisis, the root causes of which relate to systemic poverty, deep socioeconomic and gender inequality, persistent violence, the challenges posed by mixed migration flows, forced displacement within and from Honduras, and limited state capacity to respond to the protection challenges faced by the population. This context is marked by the deepening COVID-19 pandemic and climate shocks, including hurricanes Eta and Iota. |

Seasonal Effects on Logistics Capacities

Seasonal Effects on Transport |

|
Transport Type |
Time Frame |
Comments / Details |
|
Primary Transport Network |
From May to November |
High vulnerability of the network to natural phenomena (climatic, geological, others) does not guarantee continuity of travel in winter season (eg: transport of wood from the exploitation areas to the sawmills). During the rainy season, floods and landslides occur, which generate closures in the roads due in many cases to the poor infrastructure of these. |
|
Secondary Transport Network |
From May to November |
Like the previous point, secondary roads are affected by floods and landslides, but to a greater degree. |
|
Rail transport |
N/A |
N/A |
|
Air transport |
From May to November |
The temporary closure of airports is forced when bad weather limits the visibility required for the departure of planes, especially in the northern part of the country. This occurs regularly in the rainy season. |
|
River Transport |
From December to April |
The main means of communication between communities is fluvial, people move through rivers, lagoons and canals that connect with each other, specifically in the Municipalities of Gracias a Dios; Brus Laguna, Ahuas, Wampusirpi and Juan Francisco Bulnes. The duration of the trips can change in summer since it will depend on the seasonality of the river and can vary by the amount of water that the river has from four to seven hours when its waters are very low. |
Infrastructure, both public and private, is of fundamental importance for social and economic development in Honduras, as well as for its structuring and integration. It is key to natural emergencies and a rapid and effective response to disasters depends on its quality. Of particular importance are land, air and sea transport, telecommunications and energy.
The country has a road network of 14,420 km, of which 3,280 are paved roads, 2,670 km are considered secondary roads built with selected material, and 8,300 are neighborhood roads according to an analysis by UNDP and SERNA.
The construction and maintenance of infrastructure must contemplate the effects of climate change, with the aim of reducing its impact and extending the useful life of the works, especially those that are most used. It is estimated that the useful life of infrastructure and urban constructions is 70 years, since it is very likely that the existing infrastructure will have to operate in different climatic conditions in the coming decades.
Road networks and energy facilities, ports and airports generate economic competitiveness and attract new investment: businesses and distribution networks depend on infrastructure to be able to produce and distribute goods, both in local and global markets. When damaged, companies incur losses, reduce their production and processing capacity, which often leads to mass layoffs of workers.
In Honduras, road infrastructure is practically non-existent in rural areas, especially on the Caribbean Coast. In many places, roads are not paved and are only passable in the dry period. Instead, a part of the road network is in danger of flooding: the roads with the greatest risk are in the plain of the rivers in the Aguan Valley, the Atlantic coastal plain, the Sula Valley, the Choluteca Valley and the Pacific coastal plains.
According to different analyses, in the coming years greater investment in infrastructure will be required than has been made at any time in the past, due to the actions of climate change.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
The Ministry of National Contingency and Risk Management of Honduras, is an entity created to coordinate public and private organizations regarding disasters and is within the framework of the National Risk Management System of the Republic of Honduras.
In 2009, Decree No. 151-2009 approved the Law on the National Risk Management System (SINAGER). That aims to create the System and constitute the legal framework for the country to develop the capacity to prevent and reduce the risks of potential disasters, in addition to preparing for the response and recovery of damages caused by natural phenomena or those generated by human activities. Both the Law and the Regulations provide for the participation of representatives of various institutions and public and private organizations that, in collaboration and under the coordination of COPECO, are actively involved at the time of emergency response, developing their functions in the competent aspects of the organization they represent. The State Policy for Integral Risk Management of Honduras (PEGIR), approved by Executive Decree NoPCM-051-2013 on October 22, 2013, constitutes the guiding framework. The PEGIR is aimed at conducting the development of processes of strengthening and inter-institutional coordination that contribute to the operation and quality in compliance with the regulatory, financial, plans, national, regional, municipal strategies mediated by the integral risk management that includes the various sectors and at the territorial level, so that they impact these actions in the reduction of conditions of vulnerability for human security. goods and the territorial environment. Similarly, the organizations that are part of the System have in their different legal instruments specific provisions regarding their participation in the response to emergencies and disasters.
There is an early warning system that allows the population to be informed in a timely manner, using mechanisms that activate prevention and response plans.
The National Commissioner of the Ministry of National Contingency and Risk Management of Honduras "COPECO" will declare the states of alert (national, regional and departmental) by means of an agreement, with the support of the information generated by a Scientific Technical Committee (in the case of natural phenomena) and will be disseminated with the purpose that the population and the institutions adopt the specific actions before the situation that arises. present.

Regular Exemption Regime (response in case of Non-emergency):
It is important to emphasize that there are several tax exemptions to which Honduran taxpayers may adhere. To enjoy this exemption benefit, all administrative procedures must be carried out before the General Directorate of Control of Customs Franchises (DGCFA). The first step to enjoy an exoneration in Honduras is to register in the Registry of Exonerations through the Administrative Platform of the Module of Exonerations of Honduras (PAMEH), The PAMEH was created as a tool to centralize the control of authorized exonerations and know the register of beneficiaries. This electronic tool speeds up the creation of requests for exemptions, so that the information entered for the first time will remain in its database, to facilitate the entry of the next application that each beneficiary makes.
Therefore, if an organization develops a professional, business activity or its commercial item enjoys being a beneficiary of tax exemption, they will have to carry out this prior registration procedure to enjoy the tax benefit.
By fulfilling a series of requirements established by the Law, all those societies, civil associations, foundations or non-profit organizations that enjoy a tax exemption, will obtain their Certificate of Registration of Exempt Persons. This Registry of Exonerated Persons is valid for one (1) year. Therefore, they must be renewing their certificate of exemption annually, to continue enjoying the benefit of tax exemption.

Customs Transit Procedure
All goods in transit are declared at the point of import and will travel under "bond" where customs will evaluate and unload the documentation and at the point of exit from Honduras.
Transit Regime for Central America:
(a) The Central American Uniform Customs Code (CAUCA)
(b) the Regulations of the Central American Uniform Customs Code (RECAUCA);
(c) Official Journal La Gaceta
Honduras - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
The Central American region implements regional integration strategies with the aim of promoting an offer of logistics services that position it as a world-class logistics HUB by 2030. Along with this objective, Honduras has proposed a strategic plan to become the Logistics Center of the Americas.
In this sense, it has developed air, maritime and reconstruction projects for different roads, which have positioned the country among the first three nations with the highest investment in road infrastructure. They are also currently working on the construction of nine logistics corridors that have been improving connectivity throughout the country, and with the rest of Central America.
According to the World Bank's Logistics Development Index (2018), Honduras went from ranking 112 with a score of 2.46 in 2016 to ranking 93 with a score of 2.6, improving 19 positions.
In addition, the World Economic Forum (WEF) positions Honduras among the first three Central American countries with the highest investment in road infrastructure and second in the construction of maritime projects.
Maritime infrastructure is fundamental to Honduras' competitiveness as it is a gateway to trade and drives tourism development.
On the Atlantic coast are Puerto Cortés, Puerto Castilla, La Ceiba, Roatan and Tela; In the Pacific Ocean we find the ports of Amapala and Henecán/San Lorenzo.
Puerto Cortés is the most important port in the country, with a natural deep-water port and significant certifications, it is a leader in port services in Central America. Ninety percent of Honduras' international maritime transit transits through Puerto Cortés; the rest is managed in Puerto de Castilla and San Lorenzo.
Recently, Honduras developed a strategy to improve and convert its main ports into international and modern ports with the ability to provide efficient and competitive services, within global accreditation programs. The Port of Trujillo is in a similar concession process and offers excellent investment opportunities in logistics services.
The air infrastructure is a cornerstone for the economic and social development of Honduras, which allows the mobilization of people, services and goods.
Currently, Honduras has 4 international airports, located at strategic points: Palmerola (center), Ramón Villeda Morales in San Pedro Sula (north), Golosón in La Ceiba (Atlantic Coast) and Juan Manuel Gálvez in Roatan (Caribbean).
In road infrastructure, Honduras has 9 logistics corridors that connect and facilitate the transport of goods throughout the national territory.
It has the Logistics Corridor, the Central Corridor, the Dry Canal, the Agricultural Corridor, the Tourist Corridor, the Eastern Highway, the Lenca Corridor and the Western Corridor.
The largest is the Logistics Corridor, has a length of 391 km and links the ports of Amapala and Henecán in the Pacific with Puerto Cortés in the Atlantic. This Corridor is fundamental for Central America in the transport of goods, mainly destined for the East Coast of the United States.
Honduras - 2.1 Port Assessment
Assessed in 08/2016 by Capt. Wolf Lampe, Consultant seconded by BLG LOGISTICS, Bremen, Germany.
The principal port of Honduras is Puerto Cortes (approx. 400 vessels/a). Puerto Castilla (approx. 45 vessels/a) and San Lorenzo (approx. 40 vessels/a) have significantly less throughput. La Ceiba and Tela are cabotage ports used by small embarkations (fishing vessels, very small freighters) only. The passenger jetty of Tela was not assessed. Neither were the small cabotage and tourist ports on the Roatan and the surrounding islands. Lempira was covered due to its strategic position in the otherwise isolated area of Mosquitia Coast.
The assessment mission included the El Salvadorian port of La Union, situated a few kilometres across the border in the Gulf of Fonseca (see LCA El Salvador at logcluster.org). This port is to be considered an option to San Lorenzo if the need to bring in large quantities of relief cargo into Honduras using the Pacific coast arises.
Honduras - 2.1.1 port of Puerto Cortés
Description of the Port
Puerto Cortés is the main Honduran port and one of the most important on the Atlantic slope of Central America, handling 86% of the total containers moved annually by the port (in 2013 the movement of 571,000 TEUS was reported, in 2014 it increased to 582,000, in 2015 it shot up to 628,000, in 2016 it rose to 634,000 and in 2017 it increased to 655,000 TEUS) and 77% in metric tons (MT) of general cargo, special (such as bananas, coffee, melons, pineapples and other fruits for which it has adequate equipment to maintain the cold chain) and solid bulks in specialized and multipurpose docks. It has two active concessionaires: Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana (container and general cargo terminal) and Terminal Especializada de Honduras (solid bulk).
The port's productivity has risen from 19 movements per hour per vessel in 2014 to more than 50 in 2022. The acquisition of 2 Super Post Panamax gantry cranes has been contributing to improving the efficiency of Puerto Cortés. There have also been savings in truck service time, reducing from 63 minutes when the terminal was received to 40 minutes.
During 2022, shipments of ready-made clothing, bananas, coffee and prepared groceries stood out, and the main import products have been cotton yarn, varied merchandise, used vehicles and construction materials. It should be noted that the terminal has had the largest movement of cars in its history during 2022, exceeding 2,000 to date. In the month of August 2022 alone, more than 1,200 were received and the trend is expected to continue to be positive.

Information on territorial catchment area (Hinterland)
Honduras has 9 logistics corridors, the Logistics Corridor, the Central Corridor, the Dry Canal, the Agricultural Corridor, the Tourist Corridor, the Eastern Highway, the Lenca Corridor and the Western Corridor, which connect and facilitate the transport of merchandise through the national territory, and the Central American region.
The main road connections are through the CA-5 route, which crosses the Honduran territory in a north-south direction and connects the main centers of production and consumption of the country (Puerto Cortés-San Pedro Sula-Tegucigalpa and the extreme south), and the CA-1 route, second route in importance and Pan-American connection (Pacific Corridor) with El Salvador and Nicaragua.
The largest is the Logistics Corridor, has a length of 391 km and connects the ports of Amapala and Henecán in the Pacific with Puerto Cortés in the Atlantic, and is fundamental for Central America in the transport of goods, mainly destined for the East Coast of the United States.
The Logistics, Dry Canal, Agricultural, Lenca, Western and Pacific corridors strategically cross the national territory and total a length of 1,182 kilometers.
These connections with the world, through maritime port, airport, and land infrastructure, added to the coordinated management of borders and urban logistics, and the promotion of an offer of logistics services, will position Honduras as a world-class logistics HUB by 2030.
Port Security
Within this advance in modernization and development, the OPC company has turned the issue of security into one of its main pillars in its management, managing to transform Puerto Cortés into one of the safest ports in the region.
It is identified as the only terminal in the region that has the Container Security Initiative (CSI), granted by the US Customs and Border Protection (CNP)
This initiative allows containers destined for the United States to arrive pre-released by the authority, which implies a lower risk to the Customs Service of that country, and, therefore, lower costs for cargo at destination, translated into greater security and competitiveness for exporters who use the Puerto Cortés terminal.

Honduras - 2.1.4 Port of Lempira
Port Overview
The Port of Lempira, situated at the southern shore of the Caratasca lagoon is the largest settlement in the area and serves as point of entry for goods to be distributed in the eastern part of the department of Mosquitia. Vessels calling at Lempira have to pass the shallow passage from open sea into the Lagoon, which limits the size of vessel used to landing crafts and coastal vessels (actually comparable to medium sized fishing vessels) up to 50 m length, with a load capacity up to approx. 150 t.
The passage into the lagoon shifts constantly, a boat sounding the water depth will guide the vessel through the channel. Daylight and a relatively calm sea is necessary for the manoeuvre, the vessel’s draught is limited to 2.4 m at low tide (tide is given to be 0.5 to 0.75 m).
If the vessel’s draught exceeds this limit and weather permits, lightering will take place at anchor outside the lagoon.
Unloading takes place:
- At anchorage close to Lempira’s small boat and passenger jetty (N 15° 16’ 10”, W 083° 46’ 07”). Cargo is man-hauled into boats and landed.
- At the small roro-jetty at La Piur (N 15° 12’ 20, W 083° 46’ 05”), 15 km out of town towards the South situated in the Laguna Wahanta. A barrier limits the entry to 2,1 m draught.
- The channel south of Kaukira (N 15° 18’ 55”, W 083° 35’ 33”).
At Piur and Kaukira vessels equipped with cranes (currently 2 vessels of the vessels calling Lempira) can use these to lift heavier items ashore. Cargo is mostly transported onward on the extensive network of lagoons, channels and rivers, weather permitting also along the coastline. Sea-going fishing boats, propelled by outboard engines, can carry up to 1.5 to of cargo. Larger boats are also used. A dirt track connects Lempira to some inland settlements and to the border with Nicaragua – though there is currently no bridge crossing the Rio Coco.
Small warehouses or warehouse space can be rented from local traders at Lempira and Kaukira, WFP is using a temporary structure at Lempira.

Hinterland Information
Special consideration should be given to the availability of outboard engine fuel in the Gracias a Díos department. The communities along the beach, the rivers and channels are accessed by outboard-driven boat. Consequently sufficient quantities of fuel should be stored at all times to enable the onward transport from Puerto Lempira - using lagoons, rivers and channels - which depends on small boats and launches.
Unpaved roads lead to the border with Nicaragua (currently no bridges in existence, trading with Leimus reported) and Mocarón

Honduras - 2.3.1 Land Border Crossing of El Florido
Overview
It is a “conventional” custom, with a lot of tourist traffic, since a few kilometers away are archaeological remains, and it is not enabled as a fiscal route neither by Honduras nor by Guatemala.
The customs buildings of Honduras and Guatemala are separated, with an esplanade in the middle that corresponds to the parking area for heavy vehicles. Building conditions are poor on both sides, without air conditioning and more deficient in the Honduras area.
The Agricultural Services of Honduras and Guatemala are located in a new booth, completely renovated with air conditioning and in better condition than the customs buildings. The issuance of the certificates was to begin at the same time, eliminating the double certification.
For the implementation of the process of deepening integration, Integrated Border Posts have been created, which have Trade Facilitation Centers to guarantee an agile passage of goods and Control Centers to attend to goods exempted from free circulation. To this is added the upcoming implementation of the Peripheral Customs of the Customs Union, which will serve to attend the customs operations of goods entering the single customs territory.
The Customs Union seeks to facilitate trade between Guatemala and Honduras, accelerating it and reducing its cost. The two countries have integrated their trade procedures at three common land borders: Agua Caliente, El Florido and Corinto. Instead of duplicating paperwork and paperwork on both sides of the border, trade between Honduras and Guatemala now requires only an online instrument called "FYDUCA" (Factura y Declaración Única Centroamericana).
In the customs union between Guatemala and Honduras, 75% of trade between the two countries was liberalized, making them more competitive and productive. This meant 50% of the Central American population and about 52% of intraregional trade.
The Customs Union model will work in two additional customs offices, El Amatillo and El Poy. The benefit in terms of the mobility of goods at the borders thanks to the Customs Union will make it possible to speed up the crossing procedures, a reduction in transaction costs for all exporters and for users of border points.

Honduras - 2.3.8 Land Border Crossing of La Fraternidad
Overview
La Fraternidad is a land border custom located in the Municipality of San Marcos de Colon, in the Department of Choluteca in the place La Fraternidad, more popularly known as EL ESPINO.
Currently this customs functions as a juxtaposed type, since in the customs of El Espino there is a Honduran official and in La Fraternidad a Nicaraguan official.
Like most of the border customs between Honduras and Nicaragua, according to Records Recorded in books of nineteen seventy-three, this custom served as military guard. This border post was historically a meeting point for Central American personalities and presidents. In this way the customs have functioned as a transit custom, since as a result of the opening of the customs "El Guasaule" the transit of merchandise has decreased.

Honduras - 2.3.12 Land Border Crossing of El Corinto
Overview
The Customs of Corinto is located in the northern zone of Honduras, in the Department of Cortés.
This new customs territory is consolidated as a more attractive market for investors because it contains half of the Central American population, among other benefits.
For the implementation of the process of deepening integration, Integrated Border Posts have been created, which have Trade Facilitation Centers to guarantee an agile passage of goods and Control Centers to attend to goods exempted from free circulation. To this is added the upcoming implementation of the Peripheral Customs of the Customs Union, which will serve to attend the customs operations of goods entering the single customs territory.
The Customs Union seeks to facilitate trade between Guatemala and Honduras, accelerating it and reducing its cost. The two countries have integrated their trade procedures at three common land borders: Agua Caliente, El Florido and Corinto. Instead of duplicating paperwork and paperwork on both sides of the border, trade between Honduras and Guatemala now requires only an online instrument called "FYDUCA" (Factura y Declaración Única Centroamericana).
In the customs union between Guatemala and Honduras, 75% of trade between the two countries was liberalized, making them more competitive and productive. This meant 50% of the Central American population and about 52% of intraregional trade.
The Customs Union model will work in two additional customs offices, El Amatillo and El Poy. The benefit in terms of the mobility of goods at the borders thanks to the Customs Union will make it possible to speed up the crossing procedures, a reduction in transaction costs for all exporters and for users of border points.

Honduras - 2.5 Waterway Assessment
In Honduras, inland waterways play a vital role in transporting goods and people, especially in remote regions like Gracias a Dios. This region has a number of rivers, such as the Patuca, that have historically been used as transportation arteries to connect isolated communities and carry out trade in essential goods. Currently, these roads are essential for access to basic services and the movement of goods in an area that is difficult to access by road.
However, the capacity of the waterways in Gracias a Dios is limited by several challenges. Bottlenecks include navigation on shallow rivers during the dry season and lack of adequate infrastructure at river ports. In addition, the absence of maintenance and lack of investment in these areas have led to sediment accumulation and difficulty in navigation, which affects the carrying capacity and frequency of trips.
For more information on government contact details, please refer to the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.
Company Information
In Honduras, and particularly in regions like Gracias a Dios, private transport companies play a vital role in moving cargo and passengers along waterways. These companies often operate barges, speedboats and specialized vessels to provide transportation services in areas difficult to access by road. Competition in this sector can be varied, with some companies competing in terms of rates, frequency and quality of service.
Over time, problems have arisen in the private waterway transportation sector, including concerns related to safety and security. Since some areas can be remote and prone to extreme weather conditions, businesses face challenges in ensuring the safety of operations and passengers. In addition, the lack of proper regulation and supervision in some regions has led to incidents in the past, underscoring the importance of implementing more rigorous safety and security measures.
For more information on the contact details of inland waterway companies, please refer to the following link: 4.4 Port and Waterway Company Contact List.

Honduras - 2.6 Storage assessment
The main purpose of warehouses in Honduras is the development of activities related to the storage of goods or merchandise, and may carry out operations related to the line of business.
The number, location and size of warehouses are a function of customer service provided and economies of scale. A small number of large warehouses provides cost dimensions, but will offer less operability and flexibility. On the contrary, a large number of small warehouses, while allowing greater proximity to the customer and a more agile and flexible service, will lead to higher storage costs.
In Honduras, warehousing facilities play a crucial role in the logistics and distribution of goods and services throughout the country. Although efforts have been made to improve storage infrastructure, there are challenges that limit the ability to fully meet current needs.
Storage facilities in Honduras are mainly located in major cities and urban areas, making them difficult to access in remote and rural regions. This creates an imbalance in the distribution and supply of goods, negatively affecting remote communities and generating logistical bottlenecks in certain areas.
For more information on the contact details of the storage company, please refer to the following link: 4.6 Contact list of storage and milling companies.
Commercial Storage
In addition to the challenges in the storage infrastructure in Honduras, it is important to mention that the commercial sector has experienced significant growth in the demand for logistics services. Local and international companies have sought to establish operations in the country due to its strategic location in Central America, which has driven the development of the commercial storage sector.
To meet the growing needs of businesses, modern and specialized warehousing facilities have emerged in different sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and e-commerce logistics. These warehouses offer more efficient solutions for the storage and distribution of products, including advanced inventory control systems and tracking technologies.
Despite these advances, there are still opportunities to improve efficiency and logistics capacity in the country. Collaboration between the public and private sectors, along with investment in infrastructure and technology, will be key to addressing the challenges and harnessing Honduras' potential as a regional logistics hub. With these improvements, commercial storage in Honduras is expected to continue to evolve and contribute to the country's economic development.

Cold chain
Cold chain options in Honduras are critical to ensuring the proper storage and distribution of medicines and vaccines that require controlled temperatures to maintain their effectiveness. In the country, there are different alternatives to maintain the cold chain, which include both specialized storage facilities and refrigerated transport systems.
Major health centers and hospitals in urban areas have specialized refrigerators and freezers for storing temperature-sensitive medicines and vaccines. In addition, regional warehouses have been established that act as distribution centers to supply different areas of the country.
However, despite the efforts made, Honduras faces specific challenges related to drug and vaccine storage options. Storage infrastructure in some rural areas may be limited, making it difficult to access and timely availability of temperature-sensitive medical products in remote communities. In addition, lack of proper maintenance and monitoring of refrigeration facilities can lead to cold chain failures, putting the quality and efficacy of stored products at risk. To address these issues, it is essential to make investments in infrastructure and staff training, as well as to establish robust temperature monitoring and control procedures throughout the medical supply chain.
Honduras - 2.7 Milling Assessment
In Honduras, the processing capacity of grains such as wheat flour and maize flour has been a crucial component in its food industry. The country has processing facilities and plants that have evolved to meet local demand for these commodities. Wheat flour is widely used in the making of bread, cakes, and other products in the food industry, while maize flour is instrumental in the preparation of traditional foods such as tortillas and tamales.
Factories and mills have adopted advanced technologies to optimize production, achieving greater speed and flexibility to meet market demand. Despite these improvements, the country faces obstacles in accessing raw material locally, especially for wheat flour, as wheat is not grown in the region.
Some factories and mills face challenges due to the country's dependence on imports, generating a constant need for foreign currency, mainly US dollars. Declining exports, economic instability, and the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated this demand, reducing remittance and tourism revenues. These factors have put pressure on the supply of foreign currency, making international transactions difficult.
Despite the challenges, Honduras has managed to develop a strong processing capacity that contributes significantly to the availability of grain products in the country.
Large basic grain milling contractors in Honduras include: IMSA, Molino Harinero Sula, and DEMAHSA
For more information on the contact details of the milling company, please refer to the following link:

Honduras - 3 Services and Supply
In terms of services and supplies, Honduras is a country that has the basic inputs for the life of its residents, such as:
- Drinking Water: It is supplied through a sanitation network managed by the Government of the Republic through ERSAPS (Regulatory Office of Drinking Water and Sanitation Services)
At the local level, for major cities, drinking water regulators vary as follows:
1.1 San Pedro Sula city: Aguas de San Pedro
1.2 Capital city, Tegucigalpa and surroundings: SANAA
- Electric Power: Through the state owned company ENEE (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica) whose service network was concessioned to the Colombian company EEH (Energía Eléctrica Honduras).
- Health System and Hospitals: The Honduran health system is made up of two subsectors: the first, the public, made up of the Ministry of Health (SESAL), which has the leading role, regulator and provider of health services to the entire Honduran population. Also, by the Honduran Institute of Social Security (IHSS), in charge of collecting and administering fiscal resources and those from the mandatory contributions of workers and employers. A second subsector is the private sector, made up of for profit and non-profit health institutions.
SESAL provides services to 60 per cent of the population, IHSS insures 12 per cent and the private sector serves 10 per cent. In Honduras, 9 out of 10 people are not covered by any type of health insurance and it is estimated that 18% of the population (more than 1.5 million Hondurans) do not have access to health services.
- Telephone and communications services are administered by the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL). The services are provided by 1 state owned company: the National Telecommunications Company (HONDUTEL) and 2 private companies: CELTEL (TIGO) and MEGATEL (CLARO).
This service has evolved a lot, especially in recent years, almost at the same time as other countries, as fiber optics are used in data and high-definition communications in the country. Telecommunications account for an estimated 7.1% of GDP in Honduras (2008).
- Internet Services: Internet access in Honduras has progressively advanced in Honduras since the early 1990s, using submarine cables and satellite connections. In January 2020, Honduras recorded that the number of internet users was 4.1 million people, indicating that approximately 43 out of every 100 inhabitants have access to the internet. As of January 2020, there were a total of 8.20 million mobile connections in Honduras.
Some internet service providers that offer high speed connections using fiber optics include:
Claro: offers internet services using fiber optics in some areas of Honduras, with speeds of up to 150MB.
Tigo: offers fiber optic internet services in certain regions of Honduras, with speeds of up to 150MB.
Hondutel: the state owned telecommunications company, Hondutel, has been expanding its fiber optic network in several cities across the country and offers high-speed internet services.
Cable Color: offers internet and cable television services in certain areas of Honduras.
NetUno: provides internet services in some areas of the country, including broadband connections.
Cotel: this is another company that offers internet and telecommunications services in certain regions of Honduras.
Availability of specific speeds and technologies may vary by location.
- Education: Educational services in Honduras are provided by the State through the Ministry of Education (SEDUC), which has faced serious challenges in recent years and in the future, such as: school dropout, repetition, deficient and limited infrastructure, and low teaching and pedagogical quality. However, in 2023, a school enrollment of 1,858,672 students was reported; 11,335 more than those who enrolled in 2022.
Honduras - 3.1 Fuel
Overview
Honduras is a net importer of fuels, with domestic production (refinery) representing less than 10% of demand. Honduras' main fuel supplier is the United States, followed by Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. The fuel is imported through two import terminals in the Caribbean and stored in seven storage tanks in the country.
Fuel supply in Honduras is provided by a number of private companies, including Puma Energy, Unopetrol, Chevron, Texaco and Shell. These companies operate a network of service stations throughout the country, as well as a network of storage terminals. The government also plays a role in fuel supply, regulating fuel prices and quality.
Fuel supply in Honduras has experienced some problems in recent years. In 2016, a fuel shortage occurred due to a number of factors, including a strike by port workers and a decline in production at U.S. refineries. In 2017, the Honduran government introduced a fuel rationing program to address shortages. Fuel supply in Honduras is also vulnerable to changes in oil prices. In 2008, rising oil prices led to a fuel price increase in Honduras, leading to consumer protests. Despite these problems, fuel supply in Honduras is generally stable. The government is working to increase domestic fuel production and diversify the supplier base. These measures should help ensure a reliable fuel supply in the future.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.7 Fuel Providers Contact List.
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel prices
The price of fuel in Honduras is determined by a number of factors, including crude oil prices, taxes, competition and demand. The price of crude oil is the most important factor that determines the price of fuel. Crude oil prices are set in global markets and are influenced by a number of factors, including supply and demand, geopolitics and weather.
Taxes also have a significant impact on the price of fuel. The Honduran government imposes fuel taxes as a way to raise revenue and reduce fuel consumption.

Seasonal variations
Fuel supply in Honduras is generally stable, but may be affected by seasonal variations. During the summer months, the demand for fuel increases due to tourism and agricultural transport. The Honduran government is working to manage these seasonal variations by increasing fuel storage and diversifying the supplier base. These measures have helped ensure a reliable year-round fuel supply.

No |
|
Can local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs? |
Yes |
|
Is it possible for a humanitarian organization to directly contract with a trusted supplier/distributor to cover its fuel needs? |
Yes |
Fuel transport
Because in Honduras there are no pipelines for the transport of petroleum products, this is done by means of cistern trucks. This type of transport is regulated through the Petroleum Customs Commission (CAP), as part of the general regulation that applies to the fuel market. The regulations include: the fixing of tariffs, the exclusivity of freight operations to national entrepreneurs, restrictions on the entry of new operators and a series of technical measures related to the risk involved in the transport of the product, such as not allowing vehicles older than 10 years, periodic inspections of the equipment, limited days in driving vehicles etc.
The fuel cargo transport service is the best organized within the totality of cargo transport. However, it presents a comparable situation as other freight transport services about market deconcentrating. Although the Herfindahl / Hirschman (HHI) index in this market is 561.6, because of the 36 companies registered by the oil management commission only two have a percentage participation that exceeds 10%, fifteen have a participation between 2% and 8.5% and among the remaining 19 none reaches 2%.
Standards, quality, and testing
Fuel quality standards in Honduras are set by the Ministry of Energy (SEN). The SEN is the government entity responsible for regulating the energy sector in Honduras.
Fuel quality standards in Honduras are based on international standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The SEN conducts regular tests to ensure that fuels marketed in Honduras meet established quality standards.
If fuels do not meet established quality standards, the SEN can take steps to withdraw them from the market. The SEN can also impose fines on companies that market fuels that do not meet established quality standards.
There are several national testing laboratories in Honduras that carry out tests to ensure that fuels marketed in the country meet established quality standards. These laboratories are accredited by the SEN.
The application of fuel quality standards in Honduras is effective. The SEN has a team of inspectors who carry out regular tests to ensure that fuels marketed in the country meet established quality standards. The SEN also has a system of sanctions for companies that market fuels that do not meet established quality standards.
The application of fuel quality standards in Honduras is important to protect the health of consumers and ensure the safety of vehicles.

Honduras - 3.2 Transporters
The basic infrastructure for land transport (does not include rail) comprised in 2008 about 14,198.7 kilometres of road network, which is subdivided into main, secondary and neighbourhood. The neighbourhood road network is the majority with 8,253 kilometres, followed by the main with 3,280 kilometres and the secondary with 2,665 kilometres. Of the total road network, only 22.4% is paved and the remaining 77.6% unpaved, based on select material or simply earth.
The development and performance of the cargo transport and logistics sector is crucial for Honduras' competitiveness due to its interrelationship with agriculture and manufacturing.
Likewise, the Honduran highway system is managed by the Secretariat of Public Works, Transport and Housing of Honduras (SOPTRAVI), through the General Directorate of Highways, which is responsible for planning construction and rehabilitation projects of the country's road works. (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporte_en_Honduras)
Honduras has more than 15,400 km of roads. Until 1999, only 3,126 km were paved.
Similarly, the processes of comprehensive planning and improvement of transport services, cargo logistics and trade facilitation have been strengthened, including, among other measures: the preparation of a plan to modernize the transport and cargo logistics fleet; the establishment of the "Escuela National” and private land transport schools, including a specific programme for the training of women; and finally the updating of technological and digital tools for the consolidation of information in the tax administration, for its monitoring and management through a business intelligence tool.

Honduras - 3.3 Manual Labour
Honduras is a country that stands out in the region as an investment destination, since it has the youngest workforce in Latin America. 50% of the population is relatively young, and 37% of the Economically Active Population (EAP) is in the 16-29 age range.
It is worth mentioning that Honduran workers are highly productive, and also have experience in production, marketing, administration, and logistics, for mid-level management positions.
With a considerable bilingual population, Honduras becomes an attractive country for companies from the United States and Canada. Same ones that seek this type of personnel with neutral accent for their businesses, especially those that are dedicated to sustainable businesses (BPOs) and Call Center investors, who have opened more than 10 thousand jobs in recent years
In the last 20 years, more than half a million Hondurans have been trained in the textile-clothing industry, and assembly of electronic parts. Honduras has a large amount of low-cost labor with the skills and abilities that allow them to train easily, and perform efficiently in these areas.

Honduras - 3.4 Telecommunications
The telecommunications sector is characterized by being a strategic and transversal sector with implications in other sectors of the economy. Aware of this reality, Honduras, unlike other countries in the region, decided to create a specific Telecommunications Cabinet. Among the main objectives of the Cabinet is the development of the country's digital strategy, in coordination with the development of regulatory policies aimed at favoring the increase in the penetration of this sector in society and in the different sectors of the economy.
The creation of this Cabinet and the development of a transversal agenda has as its main guarantee to be formed by various Ministries where Telecommunications could promote specific projects in their respective areas. Thus, the following are part of the Cabinet:
- Ministry of the Presidency
- Ministry of Security and Defense
- Ministry of Finance - Technical Secretariat for Planning and Technical Cooperation (SEPLAN)
However, as developed later in the section, the participation of the Regulatory Authority, the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL), which will ultimately be the entity responsible for executing the regulatory policies defined by the aforementioned Cabinet, would also be recommended.
The situation of the telecommunications sector in Honduras is characterized by an unbeatable starting point from the political point of view:
- The importance of the telecom sector for the productivity, competitiveness and economic development of the country is recognized;
- High-level measures are taken to develop concrete Strategic Plans and projects in education, health, defense, and e-government, among other sectors.

Telecommunications regulation
Telecommunications in Honduras must be developed under a free market regime, in which several companies coexist striving to provide various services, increasingly of better quality and under permanently more competitive rates, which ultimately benefit the user.
Taking into account the Framework Law of the Telecommunications Sector in force, which basically regulates public telecommunications services, classifying them into: Carrier services; final services, which include basic services and complementary services; value-added services and radiocommunication and broadcasting services. To make such regulation possible, the Law has established a regime of concessions, licenses, permits and registrations, which in sum constitutes a model of regulation predominantly ex-ante of the telecommunications market.

Hispasat, the Spanish satellite telecommunications operator, provides a free connectivity and teleeducation service to 15 schools and rural communities in Honduras.
The service is part of a Public-Private Alliance agreed within the framework of the humanitarian aid that Spain has allocated to Honduras, to "alleviate the devastation" caused by tropical storms Eta and Iota, in November, Hispasat said in a statement released by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
The Spanish operator provided the necessary equipment for the deployment of 15 Wi-Fi satellite points in Honduras, as well as a "tele-education solution" that allows downloading and registering informative content on local servers so that students can access them efficiently.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
The availability of secure internet servers per million inhabitants is among the lowest in the region. These servers are those that use encryption technology to make transactions on the web, which is important to have greater security when sending and receiving digital information through the Internet network. The fewer secure servers there are in the country, the more vulnerable the information is to cyber attacks.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
It is evident the growth in the use of mobile internet service compared to the rest of the services, promoted by access to platforms that allow the transport of voice and data, in particular text messages, however, it is still limited in the country, and its coverage still has much potential for improvement mainly in the interior of the country.
The mobile internet market has very low penetration levels, lower than the average for the region, despite the increase in data traffic observed in the country, being one of the lowest in Latin America. This shows the need to develop the mobile data market.
It has been observed in the situation of the coverage of Mobile Telephony networks at the national level: For 2G technology a geographical coverage of 100% of the municipal capitals of Honduras, and a coverage of the population of 89.03%.

Honduras - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers
The local market for food and other products in Honduras shows a considerable level of competition. There are multiple suppliers and local producers competing in terms of quality, variety and prices. However, it is important to note that the ability of the local market to meet current demand may present limitations in certain sectors, especially those that require more specialized technologies and processes. Factors such as limited access to finance, lack of modern agricultural technologies, climate variability, and challenges in pest and disease management can also limit agricultural production capacity in Honduras. This can affect the supply of fresh and local food in the market.
In terms of scalability, the local market has significant potential. There are opportunities for growth and expansion of local production, in line with the country's growing demand. There is growing interest in the agro-industrial sector and increased investment in infrastructure related to the production and distribution of food and other products.
In terms of imports and exports, Honduras imports a variety of products, such as cereals, dairy products, meat, fruits and vegetables, to meet domestic demand. At the same time, the country has a strong export capacity in agricultural products, such as coffee, bananas, shrimp and oil palm products. These exports have become important sources of income for the country.
Generic country information can be found in sources that are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For an overview of country data related to the services and supply sectors, see the following sources:

Honduras - 3.5.1 Food Suppliers
Overview
Honduras' food availability is in a difficult situation. Although it has been widely concluded that food availability is no longer considered the most important dimension of SAN, due to the greater importance of confronting inequality in our societies, it is still extremely important for the rural economy of Honduras, where extreme poverty is concentrated.
Honduras has a high potential in agriculture and has a tropical climate that allows the productive activity of this sector almost all year round, guaranteeing the production of tilapia, shrimp, sugar, cocoa, coffee, bananas, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, among others.
Additional information can be found in sources that are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For more specific and detailed information on food availability and market conditions, please refer to the following sources:

Wholesale – Supermercados La Colonia
Supermercados La Colonia is a supermarket chain established in Honduras for more than 60 years. It operates in the main urban areas of the country and enjoys an outstanding reputation at the regional level, offering a wide range of products and services to Honduran consumers
In Honduras in general terms, the wholesale channel is an intermediary. Where companies operating in this business sector buy their products directly from industries, manufacturers, and even other wholesalers' resellers. To give an example, the white and yellow maize market is dominated by a small number of wholesalers, operating in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and in intermediate towns close to the main producing areas. Most of the production of this grain is channeled through the Purchase and Sale Agreements between producers and agribusiness constituted with the support of the State, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), and the Secretariat of Economic Development (SDE).

Honduras - 3.5.2 Additional Suppliers
Overview
Honduras possesses multiple strengths and the potential for faster growth and greater shared prosperity, due to its strategic location, a growing industrial base, continued efforts to diversify its exports, and a young and growing population.
In Honduras, operational support equipment and other relevant materials are widely available and used in humanitarian operations as well as in programming at the national and district levels. These key commodities are procured through different channels, including imports and trade partnerships with domestic and international suppliers.
In terms of equipment for humanitarian operations, tents of different sizes and capacities are available to provide temporary shelter to displaced or disaster-affected people. Water pumps and piping systems are also in place to facilitate access to drinking water in areas where water infrastructure may be limited. Water reservoirs are also available for water storage and distribution in communities in need of additional supply.
Some of the main economic sectors in Honduras according to their activity are:
- Agriculture: it is the most important generator of production, income, exports and employment of the Honduran economy, in addition to providing valuable environmental services. The rural population that has emigrated abroad sends significant foreign exchange earnings. However, the sector receives little state support, credit and investment, which restricts its sustained development. In recent years, their growth has been weak and volatile, with low productivity and little competitiveness, and the potential of forests is underutilized. Some activities (melon, African palm, poultry, aquaculture, sugarcane and pineapple) show strong dynamism and some diversification has been achieved.
- Forestry: the importance of this sector is that it contributes 0.87% to the economic growth of Honduras, thus presenting a deficit in the trade balance of wood products during the years under study; tied to the above, in the country the use of the forest is reflected at the private level for industrial purposes, using pine roundwood in greater proportions. In other words, the use has only been of a raw material nature and there are few technological processes that allow these products to obtain a greater added value.
- Maquila Industry: The maquila sector is one of the main industries of the Honduran economy. It is of great importance for the country, both in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and in generating new sources of employment. According to data from the Honduran Association of Maquiladores, 315 national and foreign companies are part of the sector, distributed in 9 areas. Business opportunities exist throughout the entire value chain of the maquila sector. In such a way that the more integrated it is, the more competitive it becomes. These range from supply of supplies, design, packaging, various and comprehensive services such as administration and logistics systems, among others.
- Electric Power and Water: The electricity sector in Honduras is called a vertically integrated utility (except for about half of the capacity of electricity generation), an unfinished attempt to reform the sector in the early 90s, the increasing percentage of thermal generation in the last two decades, the weak financial state of the state-owned company (ENEE) (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica), large technical and commercial losses in transmission and distribution, and poor electricity coverage in rural areas.
The drinking water and sanitation sector has gained coverage of water supply and sanitation services and has increased significantly over the last few decades. However, the quality and efficiency of the services are deficient, and gaps in coverage persist, especially in rural areas.
- Construction: The construction industry sector contributes approximately between 6.3 and 6.8 percent of GDP, making it the sixth most important sector for the national economy and the third economic activity that generates the most jobs.
- Transport: responsible for the mobilization of the different goods and transport of passengers in a maximum way, which includes the land and air transport service.
- Communications: it have been advancing at a good step, innovating in them almost at the same time as the other countries. Emphasizing that Honduras still has a long way to go in terms of communication strategies, but it also registered an increase of 3.6% in 2022.

Honduras - 1.1 Antecedentes Humanitarios
Desastres, Conflictos, Migración.
Desastres Naturales
|
Tipo |
Ocurrencia |
Detalles / Comentarios |
|---|---|---|
|
Sequias |
Si |
En los últimos años (2014-2019), las crecientes tendencias a sequias más prolongadas en ciertas zonas del país, relacionadas al fenómeno climatológico de El Nino y a lluvias cada vez más fuertes provenientes de depresiones o tormentas tropicales en otras partes, han tenido un efecto devastador e incurrido en costos elevados.
Probabilidad de Sequia:
|
|
Terremotos |
Si |
El norte de Centro América (NCA) es la zona de más alto riesgo de desastres en América Central, siendo una de las áreas más afectadas por eventos geo-climáticos extremos como terremotos, inundaciones, huracanes y sequias. Honduras al estar situado en la zona de cinturón de fuego es propensa a los sismos, sin embargo, estos no son frecuentes ni de gran magnitud.
Probabilidad de Terremotos
|
|
Epidemias |
Si |
Las inundaciones o tormentas producen aumentos de las epidemias, con un auge en los casos de diarrea, las enfermedades de las vías respiratorias (IRA) y todas las asociadas al mosquito Aedes aegypti. Por ejemplo, tras el Mitch los casos de diarrea se incrementaron un 20%. |
|
Temperaturas Extremas |
No |
La temperatura media histórica del país se ubica en los 25.3 ºC, y se pronostica un incremento de medio grado en los próximos años, aunque con variaciones entre las diferentes regiones del país. De esta manera, mientras que en las regiones de Choluteca y Valle la temperatura máxima llega a los 30 grados, en el pico de Celaque la mínima registrada es de 12 °C.251 Hasta los 600 metros de altura la temperatura promedio ronda los 26 °C, como en las tierras bajas del mar Caribe. En la cota de altura entre 601 y 2,100 metros la temperatura registrada oscila entre los 16 y los 24 °C, mientras que por encima de los 2,101 metros la temperatura media es de 16 °C. En el Pacífico, el departamento de Choluteca se caracteriza por un clima seco con temperaturas promedio anuales de 28 °C. |
|
Inundaciones |
Si |
El territorio hondureño es especialmente vulnerable a los ciclones tropicales y huracanes, cuyo número ha aumentado en la última década, especialmente entre los meses de junio y noviembre. El país padece un huracán cada 25 o 30 años, mientras que las tormentas son más frecuentes: una cada tres o cinco años (especialmente en el periodo entre septiembre y octubre).256 Las tormentas tropicales y los ciclones que afectan a Honduras se originan predominantemente en el Océano Atlántico, al norte y al este del país. Según IISD (2013), la estación de ciclones abarca desde junio hasta noviembre, aunque algunos ciclones de gran intensidad se han registrado en el mes de mayo.
Probabilidad de Inundación:
|
|
Plagas Insectos |
Si |
Las temperaturas han aumentado 2 °C en los últimos diez años”, lo que ha provocado cosechas cada vez menores, mayor deforestación y aumento de plagas y epidemias. Durante el 2014 el Instituto de Ciencias Forestales detectó 7,528 ataques de gorgojo, la mayoría en los departamentos de Olancho, Yoro y Francisco Morazán, por una totalidad de 15,242 hectáreas y 217,573 m3 de madera de pino. La langosta es una amenaza para los cultivos en el país y estas tienden a proliferar cuando las temperaturas ascienden. Sin embargo, ARSA en conjunto con SENASA emprenden acciones tempranas para control de la plaga. |
|
Deslizamientos |
Si |
Para la FAO (2012), la deforestación causa erosión y degradación de los suelos, que inciden en el aumento de las inundaciones, deslizamientos de tierras, sedimentación de los ríos, pérdida de fuentes de agua y desaparición de los ríos durante varios meses al año. La Paz es el departamento hondureño más amenazado por los deslizamientos de tierra, con el 20.22% de su territorio. En Intibucá el 20.13% del departamento presenta amenaza por deslizamientos, seguido de Lempira (19.98%) y Comayagua (18.87%). |
|
Erupciones Volcánicas |
No |
En el territorio hondureño no se han localizado volcanes activos (únicamente 4 volcanes holocénicos), que son la del El Tigre, Zacate Grande, Lago Yojoa, e Isla Útila en estado inactivo; de los que se desconoce la fecha de su última erupción (Trombley, 2008). |
|
Mareas Altas / Oleaje Anómalo |
Si |
Las marejadas son más frecuentes en la costa del Pacífico que en el mar Caribe. Es un fenómeno asociado con oleajes anormales en el centro del Pacífico, con frecuencia casi anual. El 5.1% del territorio nacional presenta una amenaza alta a mareas y marejadas, concentrándose en cinco de los dieciocho departamentos. El departamento más afectado por mareas y marejadas es el de Islas de la Bahía, donde el 43.66% del área está en riesgo, seguido de Valle (28.82%), Gracias a Dios (13.75%) y Choluteca (8.45%). |
|
Incendios Forestales |
Si |
Los incendios forestales son recurrentes en Honduras, y son una amenaza que aumenta en periodos de sequía, cuyo aumento pueden propiciar, a lo que también contribuye la cada vez menor densidad forestal del país, con lo que se produciría un círculo vicioso entre sequía e incendios forestales. Junto con la sequía, las altas temperaturas y los vientos fuertes son las principales causas naturales de los incendios forestales en el país (EIRD, 2014). Sin embargo, de los incendios forestales son provocados por las actividades humanas: en el 2014, el 72% de los incendios forestales fueron por mano criminal, y en un 12% por la quema agrícola. |

Otros Comentarios |
Los países como Honduras tienen una menor diversificación de la economía y son más dependientes de la agricultura y sus menores ingresos y ahorros, así como una educación y salud deficientes, provocan que los hogares sean vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático. |

Guerra Civil |
No |

|
Conflicto Internacional |
Si |
El golfo de Fonseca ha sido históricamente fuente de conflictos entre El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua. Y a pesar de su belleza y de un ilustre pasado también es una de las zonas más pobres de Centroamérica. El principal problema es la falta de delimitación de las aguas, aunque el primer intento en ese sentido se realizó en 1880 y fue en 1917 cuando la Corte Centroamericana de Justicia se expresó por primera vez en la materia. Y el asunto también pasó a ser considerado por la misma Corte Internacional de Justicia (CIJ) de La Haya luego de que El Salvador y Honduras recurrieran al tribunal para dirimir un diferendo por una isla de medio kilómetro cuadrado llamada Conejo. En su resolución de 1992 la CIJ determinó que ambos Estados tenían soberanía exclusiva sobre una franja de tres millas a partir de su costa, pero adjudicó la administración del resto de las aguas del golfo a los tres países que lo comparten. Y la falta de una delimitación precisa ha seguido generando conflictos, con militares disparándoles a los pescadores a los que acusan de faenar en aguas ajenas y presidentes amenazado con el uso de la fuerza aérea para defender su soberanía.
|
|
Desplazamiento Interno de Personas |
Si |
La violencia generalizada es la principal causa de desplazamiento interno en Honduras. La presencia de grupos ligados a actividades criminales, organizados en maras o pandillas, así como la disputa territorial de bandas dedicadas al narcotráfico, son los grandes motores de esta violencia. Las dos principales ciudades del país: Tegucigalpa -la capital- y San Pedro Sula - urbe industrial- han figurado en los últimos años en los primeros puestos de la lista de las ciudades más violentas del mundo, con tasas de homicidios que oscilan entre los 40 y 55, respectivamente, por cada 100 mil habitantes.
El Gobierno de Honduras reconoce desde el año 2013 la problemática del desplazamiento forzado por violencia en el país. Para atender su impacto creó la Comisión Interinstitucional para la Protección de Personas Desplazadas por la Violencia (CIPPDV), cuyo objetivo es "impulsar la formulación de políticas y la adopción de medidas para la prevención del desplazamiento forzado por la violencia, así como la atención, protección y soluciones para las personas desplazadas y sus familiares". |
|
Migrantes |
Las necesidades humanitarias urgentes de desplazados, refugiados y migrantes que llegan, transitan o retornan a la región, agravan los desafíos existentes y agudizan las brechas en la gobernanza y respuesta a la crisis y en el acceso a los servicios básicos para los migrantes.
701K encuentros en 2021 entre la Patrulla Fronteriza Estadounidense y migrantes en tránsito originarios del norte de Centro América
795K personas retornadas entre 2017 y 2021 de las cuales 39.68% provienen de Honduras
740K solicitudes de asilo entre 2019 y 2021 en EEUU y México de personas originarias del norte de Centro América. |
|
|
Minas terrestres / Presencia UXO |
Si |
Esto se generó como resultado de la guerra fría (Década 80’s): - Siembra de minas A/P, en zonas fronterizas: Honduras Nicaragua. - Se registraron pérdida de vidas humanas y personas lisiadas. - Áreas de cultivo afectadas por efecto de las minas. - Efectos negativos en la economía regional. |
|
Otros Comentarios |
Honduras se encuentra en una crisis humanitaria compleja, cuyas causas fundamentales se relacionan con la pobreza sistémica, la profunda desigualdad socioeconómica y de género, la persistencia de la violencia, los desafíos que plantean los flujos migratorios mixtos, el desplazamiento forzado que se registra dentro y desde Honduras y la limitada capacidad estatal para responder a los desafíos de protección que enfrenta la población. Este contexto está marcado por la profundización de la pandemia COVID-19 y los choques climáticos, incluidos los huracanes Eta e Iota. |

|
Red Primaria de Transporte |
De mayo a noviembre |
Alta vulnerabilidad de la red a fenómenos naturales (climáticos, geológicos, otros) no garantiza continuidad de recorrido en temporada de invierno (ej: transporte de la madera desde las áreas de explotación hasta los aserraderos). Durante el período de lluvias, se presentan inundaciones y derrumbes, los cuales generan cierres en las vías debido en muchos casos a la pobre infraestructura de éstas. |
|
Red Secundaria de Transporte |
De mayo a noviembre |
Al igual que el punto anterior, las vías secundarias son afectadas por las inundaciones y derrumbes, pero en mayor grado. |
|
Transporte Ferroviario |
NA |
NA |
|
Transporte Aéreo |
De mayo a noviembre |
Se ve forzado el cierre temporal de los aeropuertos cuando el mal clima limita la visibilidad requerida para la salida de los aviones, especialmente en la zona norte del país. Esto se presenta regularmente en la temporada de lluvia. |
|
Transporte Fluvial |
De diciembre a abril |
La principal vía de comunicación entre comunidades es fluvial, las personas se desplazan a través de ríos, lagunas y canales que se conectan entre sí, específicamente en los Municipios de Gracias a Dios; Brus Laguna, Ahuas, Wampusirpi y Juan Francisco Bulnes.
La duración de los viajes puede cambiar en verano ya que dependerá de la estacionalidad del río pudiendo variar por la cantidad de agua que tenga el río de cuatro a siete horas cuando sus aguas están muy bajas. |
La infraestructura, tanto pública como privada, tiene una importancia fundamental para el Desarrollo social y económico en Honduras, así como para su vertebración e integración. Es clave para las emergencias naturales y de su calidad depende una respuesta rápida y efectiva ante las catástrofes. De especial importancia son el transporte terrestre, aéreo y marítimo, las telecomunicaciones y la energía.
El país cuenta con una red vial de 14,420 km, de los cuales 3,280 son carreteras pavimentadas, 2,670 km se consideran carreteras secundarias construidas con material selecto, y 8,300 son caminos vecinales según un análisis del PNUD y la SERNA.
La construcción y el mantenimiento de la infraestructura deben contemplar los efectos del cambio climático, con el objetivo de reducir su impacto y alargar la vida útil de las obras, especialmente aquellas que son mas usadas. Se calcula que la vida útil de la infraestructura y de las construcciones urbanas es de 70 años, toda vez que es muy probable que la infraestructura hoy existente tenga que operar en condiciones climáticas diferentes en las próximas décadas.
Las redes viales y las instalaciones energéticas, los puertos y aeropuertos generan competitividad económica y atraen nuevas inversiones: los negocios y las redes de distribución dependen de la infraestructura para poder producir y distribuir la mercancía, tanto en los mercados locales como mundiales. Cuando esta sufre daños, las empresas incurren en perdidas, reducen su producción y su capacidad de procesamiento, lo cual suele conllevar despidos masivos de trabajadores.
En Honduras, la infraestructura vial es prácticamente inexistente en las áreas rurales, especialmente en el Litoral Caribe. En muchos lugares, las carreteras no están pavimentadas y son únicamente transitables en el periodo seco. En cambio, una parte de la red vial esta en peligro de inundación: las carreteras con mayor riesgo se encuentran en la planicie de los ríos en el Valle del Aguan, la planicie costera del Atlántico, el Valle de Sula, el Valle de Choluteca y las llanuras costeras del Pacifico.
Según diferentes análisis, en los próximos años se requerirá mayor inversión en infraestructura respecto a la que se ha efectuado en cualquier momento del pasado, debido a las acciones del cambio climático.

Capacidad y Contactos en el País en Respuesta a una Emergencia
Gobierno
La Secretaría de Estado en los Despachos de Gestión de Riesgos y Contingencias Nacionales de Honduras, es una entidad creada para coordinar las organizaciones públicas y privadas en cuanto a los desastres y se encuentra dentro del marco del Sistema de Administración de Riesgo Nacional de la república de Honduras.
En 2009 mediante Decreto No 151-2009, se aprueba la Ley del Sistema Nacional de Gestión de Riesgos (SINAGER). Que tiene por objeto crear el Sistema y constituir el marco legal para que el país desarrolle la capacidad de prevenir y disminuir los riesgos de potenciales desastres, además de la preparación a la respuesta y recuperación de los daños provocados por los fenómenos naturales o los generados por las actividades humanas. Tanto en la Ley como el Reglamento, se prevé la participación de representantes de diversas instituciones y organismos públicos y privados que, en colaboración y bajo la coordinación de COPECO, se vinculan activamente en el momento de la atención de las emergencias, desarrollando sus funciones en los aspectos competentes a la organización que representan. La Política de Estado para Gestión Integral de Riesgo de Honduras (PEGIR), aprobada mediante Decreto Ejecutivo NoPCM-051-2013 el 22 de octubre del 2013 constituye el marco orientador. La PEGIR se orienta a conducir el desarrollo de procesos de fortalecimiento y coordinación interinstitucional que contribuya a la operación y calidad en el cumplimiento de los marcos normativos, financieros, planes, estrategias nacionales, regionales, municipales mediados por la gestión integral de riesgo que incluye los diversos sectores y a nivel territorial, de manera que impacten dichas acciones en la reducción de las condiciones de vulnerabilidad para la seguridad humana, los bienes y el ambiente territorial. Igualmente, las organizaciones que forman parte del Sistema tienen en sus diferentes instrumentos jurídicos disposiciones específicas relativas a sus participaciones en la respuesta a emergencias y desastres.
Existe un sistema de alertas temprana que permite informar oportunamente a la población, utilizando mecanismos que activen planes de prevención y respuesta.
El Comisionado Nacional de la Secretaría de Estado en los Despachos de Gestión de Riesgos y Contingencias Nacionales de Honduras “COPECO” declarará los estados de alerta (nacional, regional y departamental) por medio de un acuerdo, con el respaldo de la información generada por un Comité Técnico Científico (en el caso de fenómenos naturales) y se difundirán con el propósito de que la población y las instituciones adopten las acciones específicas ante la situación que se presente.

Régimen Regular de Exención (respuesta en caso de No emergencia):
Es importante recalcar que existen diversas exoneraciones fiscales a las cuales los contribuyentes hondureños pueden estar adheridos. Para gozar de este beneficio de exoneración, todos los trámites administrativos se deberán realizar ante la Dirección General de Control de Franquicias Aduaneras (DGCFA). El primer paso para gozar de una exoneración en Honduras es inscribirse en el Registro de Exonerados a través de la Plataforma Administradora del Módulo de Exoneraciones de Honduras (PAMEH), El PAMEH fue creado como una herramienta para centralizar el control de las exoneraciones autorizadas y conocer el padrón de beneficiarios. Esta herramienta electrónica, agiliza la creación de las solicitudes de exoneraciones, de tal forma que, la información ingresada por primera vez quedará en su base de datos, para facilitar el ingreso de la próxima solicitud que cada beneficiario realice.
Por lo tanto, si una organización desarrolla una actividad profesional, empresarial o su rubro comercial goza de ser beneficiaria de exoneración de impuestos, tendrán que llevar a cabo este trámite previo de inscripción para gozar del beneficio fiscal.
Al cumplir una serie de requisitos establecidos por la Ley, todas aquellas sociedades, asociaciones civiles, fundaciones u organizaciones sin fines de lucro que gocen de una exoneración fiscal, obtendrán su Constancia de Registro de Exonerados. Este Registro de Exonerados tiene una vigencia de un (1) año. Por lo que deberán estar renovando su constancia de exonerados anualmente, para continuar gozando del beneficio de exoneración de impuestos.

Régimen de Tránsito Aduanero
Todas las mercancías en tránsito se declaran en el punto de importación y viajarán bajo "fianza" donde la aduana evaluará y descargará la documentación y en el punto de salida de Honduras.

Honduras - 2 Infraestructura Logística
La región Centroamericana implementa estrategias de integración regional con el objetivo de promover una oferta de servicios logísticos que la posicionen como un HUB logístico de clase mundial para el año 2030. Junto a este objetivo, Honduras se ha propuesto un plan estratégico para convertirse en el Centro Logístico de las Américas.
En este sentido, ha desarrollado proyectos aéreos, marítimos y para la reconstrucción de diferentes carreteras, que han posicionado al país entre las primeras tres naciones con la mayor inversión en infraestructura vial. Actualmente también están trabajando en la construcción de nueve corredores logísticos que han ido mejorando la conectividad en todo el país, y con el resto de América Central.
Según el Índice de Desarrollo Logístico del Banco Mundial (2018), Honduras pasó del ranking 112 con una puntuación de 2.46 en 2016 a un ranking de 93 con un puntaje de 2.6, mejorando 19 posiciones.
Además, el Foro Económico Mundial (WEF) posiciona a Honduras entre los primeros tres países centroamericanos con mayor inversión en materia de infraestructura vial y segundo en construcción de proyectos marítimos.
La infraestructura marítima es fundamental para la competitividad de Honduras ya que es una puerta para el comercio e impulsa el desarrollo turístico.
El país busca el liderazgo de la región con importantes puertos importantes que tienen acceso a los océanos Atlántico y Pacífico.
En nuestra costa Atlántica tenemos Puerto Cortés, Puerto Castilla, La Ceiba, Roatán y Tela; En el Océano Pacífico encontramos los puertos de Amapala y Henecán/San Lorenzo.
Puerto Cortés es el puerto más importante del país, con un puerto natural de aguas profundas y certificaciones significativas, es un líder en servicios portuarios en América Central. El noventa por ciento del tránsito marítimo internacional de Honduras transita por Puerto Cortés; el resto se gestiona en Puerto de Castilla y San Lorenzo.
Recientemente, Honduras desarrolló una estrategia para mejorar y convertir sus principales puertos en puertos internacionales y modernos con la capacidad de proporcionar servicios eficientes y competitivos, dentro de los programas de acreditación global. El Puerto de Trujillo se encuentra en un proceso de concesión similar y ofrece excelentes oportunidades de inversión en servicios logísticos.
La infraestructura aérea es una pieza angular para el desarrollo económico y social de Honduras, que permite la movilización de personas, servicios y mercaderías.
Actualmente, Honduras cuenta con 4 aeropuertos internacionales, localizados en puntos estratégicos: Palmerola (centro), Ramón Villeda Morales en San Pedro Sula (norte), Golosón en La Ceiba (Costa Atlántica) y Juan Manuel Gálvez en Roatán (Caribe).
En infraestructura vial, Honduras cuenta con 9 corredores logísticos que conectan y facilitan el transporte de mercancía por el territorio nacional.
Tiene el Corredor Logístico, el Corredor Central, el Canal Seco, el Corredor Agrícola, el Corredor Turístico, la Carretera de Oriente, el Corredor Lenca y el Corredor de Occidente.
El más grande es el Corredor Logístico, tiene una longitud de 391 km y une los puertos de Amapala y Henecán en el Pacífico con Puerto Cortés en el Atlántico. Este Corredor es fundamental para Centroamérica en el transporte de mercancías, principalmente con destino a la Costa Este de Estados Unidos.

Honduras - 2.1.1 Puerto de Puerto Cortes
Descripción del Puerto
Puerto Cortés es el principal puerto hondureño y uno de los más importantes de la vertiente atlántica de Centroamérica, maneja 86% del total de contenedores movilizados anualmente por la vía portuaria (en 2013 se reportó el movimiento de 571.000 TEUS, en 2014 aumentó a 582.000, en 2015 se disparó a 628.000, en 2016 subió a 634.000 y en 2017 se incrementó a 655.000 TEUS) y 77% en toneladas métricas (TM) de carga general, especial (como bananos, café, melones, piñas y otras frutas para lo cual cuenta con equipamiento adecuado para mantener la cadena de frío) y graneles sólidos en muelles especializados y multipropósito. Posee dos concesionarios activos: Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana (terminal de contenedores y carga general) y Terminal Especializada de Honduras (graneles sólidos).
La productividad del puerto ha subido de 19 movimientos por hora por buque en 2014 a más de 50 en el 2022. La adquisición de 2 Grúas Pórtico Súper Post Panamax ha venido contribuyendo a mejorar la eficiencia de Puerto Cortés. También ha habido ahorros de tiempo de atención a camiones, reduciendo de 63 minutos cuando se recibió la terminal a 40 minutos.
Durante el 2022, destacaron los envíos de ropa confeccionada, banano, café y comestibles preparados, y los principales productos de importación han sido la hilaza de algodón, mercadería variada, vehículos usados y materiales para la construcción. Cabe destacar que la terminal ha tenido el mayor movimiento de autos en su historia durante el 2022, superando a la fecha los 2,000. Solo en el mes de agosto 2022, se recibieron más de 1,200 y se prevé que la tendencia continue siendo positiva.

Guía sobre Aduanas
Los procedimientos de despacho de aduanas en el Puerto de Puerto Cortés en Honduras son supervisados por la Administración de Aduanas de Honduras, también conocida como el Dirección Adjunta de Rentas Aduaneras. A continuación, encontrará una guía general sobre los procedimientos de despacho de aduanas para importaciones y exportaciones en el puerto:
- Obtener los permisos y licencias necesarios: Antes de poder importar o exportar mercancías desde Honduras, puede ser necesario obtener permisos y licencias de varios organismos gubernamentales, dependiendo del tipo de mercancías que se envíen. Estos pueden incluir el Ministerio de Salud, el Ministerio de Agricultura y el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, entre otros.
- Presentar la documentación de importación/exportación: Una vez obtenidos todos los permisos y licencias necesarios, el importador o exportador debe presentar toda la documentación de importación/exportación requerida al SAR. Esta documentación incluye la factura comercial, la lista de empaque, el conocimiento de embarque y otros documentos pertinentes.
- Pagar los derechos de aduana y los impuestos: El importador o exportador es responsable de pagar todos los derechos de aduana e impuestos asociados al envío. Estas tasas pueden incluir derechos de importación, impuesto sobre el valor añadido (IVA), impuestos especiales y otras tasas.
- Inspección de la carga: SAR puede inspeccionar la carga para asegurar el cumplimiento de todas las regulaciones de importación/exportación y para verificar la exactitud de la documentación presentada.
- Liberación de la carga: Una vez que se han pagado todos los derechos e impuestos de aduana necesarios y se ha inspeccionado la carga, SAR emitirá una orden de liberación permitiendo que la carga sea despachada para su entrada o salida del puerto. Es importante tener en cuenta que los procedimientos de despacho de aduanas pueden ser complejos y pueden variar dependiendo de la naturaleza específica de las mercancías que se importan o exportan. Se recomienda a los importadores y exportadores que trabajen con un agente de aduanas o transitario autorizado para garantizar el cumplimiento de toda la normativa y facilitar un proceso de despacho de aduanas sin problemas.

Información sobre zona de influencia territorial (Hinterland)
Honduras cuenta con 9 corredores logísticos, Corredor Logístico, el Corredor Central, el Canal Seco, el Corredor Agrícola, el Corredor Turístico, la Carretera de Oriente, el Corredor Lenca y el Corredor de Occidente, mismos que conectan y facilitan el transporte de mercancía por el territorio nacional, y la región centroamericana.
Las principales conexiones viales se dan a través de la ruta CA-5, que atraviesa el territorio hondureño en dirección norte-sur y conecta los principales centros de producción y consumo del país (Puerto Cortés-San Pedro Sula-Tegucigalpa y el extremo sur), y la ruta CA-1, segunda vía en importancia y conexión Panamericana (Corredor Pacífico) con El Salvador y Nicaragua.
El más grande es el Corredor Logístico, tiene una longitud de 391 km y une los puertos de Amapala y Henecán en el Pacífico con Puerto Cortés en el Atlántico, y es fundamental para Centroamérica en el transporte de mercancías, principalmente con destino a la Costa Este de Estados Unidos.
Los corredores Logístico, Canal Seco, Agrícola, Lenca, Occidente y Pacífico atraviesan estratégicamente el territorio nacional y suman una longitud de 1,182 kilómetros.
Estas conexiones con el mundo, a través de infraestructura marítima portuaria, aeroportuario, y terrestre, sumado a la gestión coordinada de fronteras y logística urbana, y la promoción de una oferta de servicios logísticos, posicionarán a Honduras como HUB logístico de clase mundial para el 2030.
Seguridad Portuaria
Dentro de ese avance en modernización y desarrollo, la empresa OPC ha convertido el tema de la seguridad en uno de sus principales pilares en su gestión, logrando transformar a Puerto Cortés en uno de los puertos más seguros en la región.
Se identifica por ser la única terminal de la región que posee la iniciativa Container Security Initiative (CSI), otorgada por la Protección de Aduanas y Fronteras de EUU (CNP, por sus siglas en ingles)
Dicha iniciativa permite que los contenedores con destino a Estados Unidos lleguen preliberados por la autoridad, lo que implica un riesgo menor frente al Servicio de Aduanas de ese país, y, por ende, menores costos para las cargas en destino, traducidos en mayor seguridad y competitividad para los exportadores que utilizan la terminal de Puerto Cortés.

Honduras - 2.5 Evaluación de las vías navegables
En Honduras, las vías navegables interiores desempeñan un papel vital en el transporte de mercancías y personas, especialmente en regiones remotas como Gracias a Dios. Esta región cuenta con una serie de ríos, como el Patuca, que han sido históricamente utilizados como arterias de transporte para conectar comunidades aisladas y llevar a cabo el comercio de bienes esenciales. Actualmente, estas vías son esenciales para el acceso a servicios básicos y el movimiento de productos en una zona de difícil acceso por carretera.
Sin embargo, la capacidad de las vías navegables en Gracias a Dios se ve limitada por varios desafíos. Los cuellos de botella incluyen la navegación en ríos poco profundos durante la estación seca y la falta de infraestructura adecuada en los puertos fluviales. Además, la ausencia de mantenimiento y la falta de inversión en estas áreas han llevado a la acumulación de sedimentos y a la dificultad en la navegación, lo que afecta la capacidad de carga y la frecuencia de los viajes.
Para obtener más información sobre los detalles de contacto del gobierno, consulte el siguiente enlace: 4.1 Lista de contactos del gobierno
Información de la empresa
En Honduras, y particularmente en regiones como Gracias a Dios, las empresas de transporte privado desempeñan un papel vital en la movilización de carga y pasajeros a lo largo de las vías navegables. Estas empresas a menudo operan barcazas, lanchas y embarcaciones especializadas para brindar servicios de transporte en áreas de difícil acceso por carretera. La competencia en este sector puede ser variada, con algunas empresas compitiendo en términos de tarifas, frecuencia y calidad de servicio.
A lo largo del tiempo, han surgido problemas en el sector del transporte privado en vías navegables, incluyendo preocupaciones relacionadas con la seguridad y la protección. Dado que algunas áreas pueden ser remotas y propensas a condiciones climáticas extremas, las empresas enfrentan desafíos para garantizar la seguridad de las operaciones y de los pasajeros. Además, la falta de regulación y supervisión adecuada en algunas regiones ha llevado a incidentes en el pasado, lo que ha subrayado la importancia de implementar medidas de seguridad y protección más rigurosas.

Honduras - 2.6 Evaluación del almacenamiento
Las bodegas en Honduras tienen como finalidad principal el desarrollo de las actividades relacionadas con el almacenamiento de bienes o mercancías, y podrán realizar las operaciones relacionadas con el giro del negocio.
El número, localización y tamaño de los almacenes están en función del servicio al cliente prestado y de las economías de escala. Un número reducido de almacenes de gran dimensión proporciona dimensiones en los costos, pero ofrecerá una menor operatividad y flexibilidad. Por el contrario, un número elevado de pequeños almacenes, si bien permite una mayor proximidad al cliente y un servicio más ágil y flexible, dará lugar a costos de almacenajes superiores.
En Honduras, las instalaciones de almacenamiento juegan un papel crucial en la logística y distribución de bienes y servicios en todo el país. Aunque se han realizado esfuerzos para mejorar la infraestructura de almacenamiento, existen desafíos que limitan la capacidad de satisfacer plenamente las necesidades actuales.
Las instalaciones de almacenamiento en Honduras se encuentran principalmente en las principales ciudades y zonas urbanas, lo que dificulta el acceso a ellas en regiones remotas y rurales. Esto crea un desequilibrio en la distribución y suministro de bienes, afectando negativamente a las comunidades alejadas y generando cuellos de botella logísticos en ciertas áreas.
Para más información sobre los datos de contacto de la empresa de almacenamiento, consulte el siguiente enlace: 4.6 Lista de contactos de empresas de almacenamiento y molturación.
Almacenamiento comercial
Además de los desafíos en la infraestructura de almacenamiento en Honduras, es importante mencionar que el sector comercial ha experimentado un crecimiento significativo en la demanda de servicios logísticos. Empresas locales e internacionales han buscado establecer operaciones en el país debido a su ubicación estratégica en América Central, lo que ha impulsado el desarrollo del sector de almacenamiento comercial.
Para satisfacer las necesidades crecientes de las empresas, han surgido instalaciones de almacenamiento modernas y especializadas en diferentes sectores, como alimentos y bebidas, productos farmacéuticos y logística de comercio electrónico. Estos almacenes ofrecen soluciones más eficientes para el almacenamiento y la distribución de productos, incluyendo sistemas de control de inventario avanzados y tecnologías de seguimiento.
A pesar de estos avances, aún existen oportunidades para mejorar la eficiencia y la capacidad logística en el país. La colaboración entre el sector público y privado, junto con la inversión en infraestructura y tecnología, será clave para abordar los desafíos y aprovechar el potencial de Honduras como centro logístico regional. Con estas mejoras, se espera que el almacenamiento comercial en Honduras continúe evolucionando y contribuyendo al desarrollo económico del país.

Cadena de frío
Las opciones de la cadena de frío en Honduras son fundamentales para garantizar la conservación y distribución adecuada de medicamentos y vacunas que requieren temperaturas controladas para mantener su eficacia. En el país, existen diferentes alternativas para mantener la cadena de frío, que incluyen tanto instalaciones de almacenamiento especializadas como sistemas de transporte refrigerado.
Los principales centros de salud y hospitales en zonas urbanas cuentan con refrigeradores y congeladores especializados para almacenar medicamentos y vacunas sensibles a la temperatura. Además, se han establecido almacenes regionales que actúan como centros de distribución para abastecer a diferentes áreas del país.
Sin embargo, a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados, Honduras enfrenta desafíos específicos relacionados con las opciones de almacenamiento de medicamentos y vacunas. Las infraestructuras de almacenamiento en algunas zonas rurales pueden ser limitadas, lo que dificulta el acceso y la disponibilidad oportuna de productos médicos sensibles a la temperatura en comunidades alejadas. Además, la falta de mantenimiento y monitoreo adecuado de las instalaciones de refrigeración puede llevar a fallas en la cadena de frío, lo que pone en riesgo la calidad y eficacia de los productos almacenados. Para abordar estos problemas, es esencial realizar inversiones en infraestructuras y capacitación del personal, así como establecer procedimientos sólidos de monitoreo y control de la temperatura en toda la cadena de suministro médico.
Honduras - 2.7 Evaluación de la molienda
En Honduras, la capacidad de procesamiento de granos como la harina de trigo y la harina de maíz ha sido un componente crucial en su industria alimentaria. El país cuenta con instalaciones y plantas de procesamiento que han evolucionado para satisfacer la demanda local de estos productos básicos. La harina de trigo se utiliza ampliamente en la elaboración de pan, pasteles y otros productos de la industria de alimentos, mientras que la harina de maíz es fundamental en la preparación de alimentos tradicionales como tortillas y tamales.
Las fábricas y molinos han adoptado tecnologías avanzadas para optimizar la producción, logrando mayor velocidad y flexibilidad para atender la demanda del mercado. A pesar de estas mejoras, el país se encuentra con obstáculos para acceder a la materia prima de manera local, especialmente para la harina de trigo, ya que el trigo no se cultiva en la región.
Algunas fábricas y molinos enfrentan desafíos debido a la dependencia del país de importaciones, generando una constante necesidad de divisas, principalmente dólares estadounidenses. La disminución en exportaciones, inestabilidad económica, y la pandemia del COVID-19 han exacerbado esta demanda, reduciendo los ingresos por remesas y turismo. Estos factores han presionado el suministro de divisas, dificultando transacciones internacionales.
A pesar de los retos, Honduras ha logrado desarrollar una capacidad de procesamiento sólida que contribuye significativamente a la disponibilidad de productos derivados de granos en el país.
Los grandes contratistas de molienda de granos básicos en Honduras incluyen: IMSA, Molino Harinero Sula y DEMAHSA

Honduras - 3 Servicios y Abastecimiento
En cuanto a servicios e insumos, Honduras es un país que cuenta con los insumos básicos para la vida de sus habitantes, tales como:
- Agua Potable: Se abastece a través de una red de saneamiento administrada por el Gobierno de la República a través de ERSAPS (Oficina Reguladora de Servicios de Agua Potable y Saneamiento)
A nivel local, para las principales ciudades, los reguladores de agua potable varían de la siguiente manera:
1.1 San Pedro Sula city: Aguas de San Pedro
1.2 Ciudad capital, Tegucigalpa y alrededores: SANAA
- Energía Eléctrica: A través de la empresa estatal ENEE (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica) cuya red de servicio fue concesionada a la empresa colombiana EEH (Energía Eléctrica Honduras).
- Sistema de Salud y Hospitales: El sistema de salud hondureño está conformado por dos subsectores: el primero, el público, conformado por la Secretaría de Salud (SESAL), la cual tiene el rol protagónico, regulador y proveedor de servicios de salud a toda la población hondureña. Asimismo, por el Instituto Hondureño del Seguro Social (IHSS), encargado de recaudar, administrar los recursos fiscales y los provenientes de las cotizaciones obligatorias de trabajadores y empleadores. Un segundo subsector es el privado, conformado por instituciones de salud con o sin fines de lucro.
El SESAL presta servicios al 60% de la población, el IHSS asegura al 12% y el sector privado atiende al 10%. En Honduras, 9 de cada 10 personas no están cubiertas por ningún tipo de seguro de salud y se estima que el 18% de la población (más de 1.5 millones de hondureños) no tiene acceso a servicios de salud.
- Los servicios telefónicos y de comunicaciones son administrados por la Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL). Los servicios son prestados por 1 empresa estatal: La Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (HONDUTEL) y 2 empresas privadas: CELTEL (TIGO) y MEGATEL (CLARO).
Este servicio ha evolucionado mucho, sobre todo en los últimos años, casi al mismo tiempo que los demás países, ya que la fibra óptica se utiliza en las comunicaciones de datos y alta definición en el país. Se estima que las telecomunicaciones representan el 7,1% del PIB en Honduras (2008).
- Servicios de Internet: El acceso a Internet en Honduras ha avanzado progresivamente en Honduras desde principios de la década de 1990, utilizando cables submarinos y conexiones satelitales. En enero de 2020, Honduras registró que el número de usuarios de Internet era de 4.1 millones de personas, lo que indica que aproximadamente 43 de cada 100 habitantes tienen acceso a Internet. En enero de 2020 había un total de 8,20 millones de conexiones móviles en Honduras.
algunas empresas proveedoras de servicios de internet que ofrecen conexiones de alta velocidad utilizando fibra óptica incluyen:
Claro: Claro ofrece servicios de internet utilizando fibra óptica en algunas áreas de Honduras, con velocidades de hasta 150MB.
Tigo: Tigo también ofrece servicios de internet mediante fibra óptica en ciertas regiones de Honduras, con velocidades de hasta 150MB.
Hondutel: La empresa estatal de telecomunicaciones, Hondutel, ha estado expandiendo su red de fibra óptica en varias ciudades del país y ofrece servicios de internet de alta velocidad.
Cable Color: Ofrece servicios de internet y televisión por cable en ciertas áreas de Honduras.
NetUno: Provee servicios de internet en algunas zonas del país, incluyendo conexiones de banda ancha.
Cotel: Es otra empresa que ofrece servicios de internet y telecomunicaciones en ciertas regiones de Honduras.
La disponibilidad de velocidades específicas y tecnologías puede variar según la ubicación.
- Educación: Los servicios educativos en Honduras son prestados por el Estado a través de la Secretaría de Educación (SEDUC) que ha enfrentado serios retos en los últimos años y en el futuro, tales como: Deserción escolar, repitencia, infraestructura deficiente y limitada y baja calidad docente y pedagógica. Sin embargo, en 2023 se reportó una matrícula escolar de 1,858,672 estudiantes; 11,335 más que los que se matricularon en 2022.
Honduras - 3.1 Combustible
Panorama general
Honduras es un país importador neto de combustibles, con una producción interna (refinería) que representa menos del 10% de la demanda. El principal proveedor de combustibles de Honduras es Estados Unidos, seguido de México, Colombia y Venezuela. El combustible se importa a través de dos terminales de importación en el Caribe y se almacena en siete tanques de almacenamiento en el país.
El suministro de combustible en Honduras es proporcionado por una serie de empresas privadas, incluyendo Puma Energy, Unopetrol, Chevron, Texaco y Shell. Estas empresas operan una red de estaciones de servicio en todo el país, así como una red de terminales de almacenamiento. El gobierno también juega un papel en el suministro de combustible, regulando los precios y la calidad del combustible.
El suministro de combustible en Honduras ha experimentado algunos problemas en los últimos años. En 2016, se produjo una escasez de combustible debido a una serie de factores, incluyendo una huelga de trabajadores portuarios y una disminución de la producción en las refinerías estadounidenses. En 2017, el gobierno de Honduras introdujo un programa de racionamiento de combustible para hacer frente a la escasez. El suministro de combustible en Honduras es también vulnerable a los cambios en los precios del petróleo. En 2008, el aumento de los precios del petróleo provocó un aumento del precio del combustible en Honduras, lo que llevó a protestas por parte de los consumidores. A pesar de estos problemas, el suministro de combustible en Honduras es generalmente estable. El gobierno está trabajando para aumentar la producción interna de combustible y diversificar la base de proveedores. Estas medidas deberían ayudar a asegurar un suministro de combustible fiable en el futuro.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.7 Fuel Providers Contact List
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Precios del combustible
El precio del combustible en Honduras está determinado por una serie de factores, incluyendo los precios del petróleo crudo, los impuestos, la competencia y la demanda. El precio del petróleo crudo es el factor más importante que determina el precio del combustible. Los precios del petróleo crudo se establecen en los mercados globales y están influenciados por una serie de factores, incluyendo la oferta y la demanda, la geopolítica y el clima.
Los impuestos también tienen un impacto significativo en el precio del combustible. El gobierno de Honduras impone impuestos al combustible como una forma de recaudar ingresos y reducir el consumo de combustible. Los impuestos sobre el combustible en Honduras varían de país a país, pero suelen representar una parte significativa del precio del combustible.
La competencia también juega un papel en la determinación del precio del combustible. Las estaciones de servicio en Honduras compiten entre sí por los clientes, lo que puede conducir a precios más bajos. Sin embargo, la competencia también puede conducir a precios más altos, ya que las estaciones de servicio pueden aumentar los precios para obtener beneficios adicionales.
La demanda también tiene un impacto en el precio del combustible. Cuando la demanda de combustible es alta, los precios suben. Esto se debe a que las estaciones de servicio pueden cobrar más por el combustible ya que los clientes están dispuestos a pagar más.

Variaciones estacionales
El suministro de combustible en Honduras es generalmente estable, pero puede verse afectado por las variaciones estacionales. Durante los meses de verano, la demanda de combustible aumenta debido al turismo y al transporte agrícola. El gobierno de Honduras trabaja para gestionar estas variaciones estacionales aumentando el almacenamiento de combustible y diversificando la base de proveedores. Estas medidas han ayudado a asegurar un suministro de combustible fiable durante todo el año.

Transporte de combustible
Debido a que en Honduras no existen Oleoductos para el transporte de derivados del petróleo, este se realiza por medio de camiones cistemas. Este tipo de transporte se ve regulado a través de la Comision Aduanera del Petroleo (CAP), como parte de la regulacion general que se aplica al mercado de los combustibles. Entre las regulaciones se incluye: la fijacion de tarifas, la exclusividad de las operaciones de flete a los empresarios nacionales, restricciones al ingreso de nuevos operarios y una serie de medidas tecnicas relacionadas con el riesgo que implica el transporte del producto, como la de no permtir vehiculos mayores de 10 años, revisiones periodicas del equipo, jornadas limitadas en la conduccion de los vehiculos etc.
El servicio de transporte de carga de combustibles es el mejor organizado dentro de la totalidad de transporte de carga. No obstante, presenta una situación similar que los demás servicios de transporte de carga con respecto a la desconcentración del mercado. Si bien el indice Herfindahl/ Hirschman (HHI) en este mercado es de 561.6, debido a que las 36 empresas reistradas por la comision administradora de petroleo únicamente dos presentan una participacion porcentual que supera el 10%, quince tienen una participacion entre 2% y 8.5% y entre los 19 restantes ninguna alcanza el 2%.
Estándares, calidad y pruebas
Las normas relativas a la calidad de los combustibles en Honduras son establecidas por la Secretaría de Energía (SEN). La SEN es la entidad gubernamental responsable de regular el sector energético en Honduras.
Las normas de calidad de los combustibles en Honduras se basan en las normas internacionales establecidas por la Organización Internacional de Normalización (ISO). La SEN realiza pruebas regulares para garantizar que los combustibles comercializados en Honduras cumplan con las normas de calidad establecidas.
Si los combustibles no cumplen con las normas de calidad establecidas, la SEN puede tomar medidas para retirarlos del mercado. La SEN también puede imponer multas a las empresas que comercializan combustibles que no cumplen con las normas de calidad establecidas.
Existen varios laboratorios nacionales de ensayo en Honduras que realizan pruebas para garantizar que los combustibles comercializados en el país cumplan con las normas de calidad establecidas. Estos laboratorios están acreditados por la SEN.
La aplicación de las normas de calidad de los combustibles en Honduras es efectiva. La SEN cuenta con un equipo de inspectores que realizan pruebas regulares para garantizar que los combustibles comercializados en el país cumplan con las normas de calidad establecidas. La SEN también cuenta con un sistema de sanciones para las empresas que comercializan combustibles que no cumplen con las normas de calidad establecidas.
La aplicación de las normas de calidad de los combustibles en Honduras es importante para proteger la salud de los consumidores y garantizar la seguridad de los vehículos.

Honduras - 3.2 Transportes
La infraestructura de base para el transporte de terrestre (no incluye ferrocarril) comprendía en 2008 unos 14,198.7 kilómetros de red vial, la cual se subdivide en principal, secundaria y vecinal. La red vial vecinal es la mayoritaria con 8,253 kilómetros, seguida por la principal con 3,280 kilometros y la secundaria con 2,665 kilómetros. Del total de la red vial, solo el 22.4% es pavimentada y el restante 77.6% no pavimentado, tiene como base material selecto o simplemente tierra.
El desarrollo y desempeño del sector de transporte y logística de cargas es crucial para la competitividad de Honduras por su interrelación con la agricultura y la industria manufacturera.
Así mismo el sistema de carreteras de Honduras es manejado por la Secretaría de Obras Públicas, Transporte y Vivienda de Honduras (SOPTRAVI), a través de la Dirección General de Carreteras, la cual se encarga de planificar los proyectos de construcción y rehabilitación de las obras viales, del país.1 Honduras cuenta con más de 15,400 km de carreteras. Hasta el año 1999, solamente 3,126 km se encontraban pavimentadas.
Del mismo modo, se han fortalecido los procesos de planificación integral y mejora de servicios de transporte, logística de carga y de facilitación de comercio, que incluye, entre otras medidas: la elaboración de un plan de modernización de la flota de transporte y logística de carga; la puesta en operación de la Escuela Nacional y escuelas privadas de transporte terrestre, incluyendo en ambas un programa específico para la capacitación de mujeres; y por último la actualización de herramientas tecnológicas y digitales para la consolidación de la información en la administración tributaria, para su monitoreo y gestión a través de una herramienta de inteligencia de negocios.

El sector de las telecomunicaciones se caracteriza por ser un sector estratégico y transversal con implicaciones en otros sectores de la economía. Consciente de esta realidad, Honduras, a diferencia de otros países de la región, decidió crear un Gabinete específico de Telecomunicaciones. Entre los principales objetivos del Gabinete está el desarrollo de la estrategia digital de país, en coordinación con el desarrollo de políticas regulatorias dirigidas a favorecer el aumento de la penetración de este sector en la Sociedad y en los distintos sectores de la economía.
La creación de este Gabinete y el desarrollo de una agenda transversal tiene como aval principal el estar formado por diversos Ministerios donde las Telecomunicaciones pudieran potenciar proyectos específicos en sus respectivas áreas. Así, forman parte del Gabinete:
- Ministerio de Presidencia
- Ministerio de Seguridad y Defensa
- Ministerio de Finanzas - Secretaría Técnica de Planificación y Cooperación Técnica (SEPLAN)
Sin embargo, como posteriormente se desarrolla en el apartado, también sería recomendable la participación de la Autoridad Reguladora, la Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), quien en última instancia será la entidad responsable de ejecutar las políticas regulatorias definidas desde el citado Gabinete.
La situación del sector de telecomunicaciones en Honduras se caracteriza por un punto de partida inmejorable desde el punto de vista político:
- Se reconoce la importancia que el sector telecom tiene para la productividad, la competitividad y el desarrollo económico del país, y
- Se toman medidas de alto nivel dirigidas a desarrollar Planes Estratégicos concretos y proyectos en materia de educación, sanidad, defensa, y gobierno electrónico, entre otros sectores.

Regulacion de las telecomunicaciones
Las telecomunicaciones en Honduras deben desarrollarse bajo un régimen de libre mercado, en el cual coexistan varias empresas pugnando por brindar diversos servicios, cada vez de mejor calidad y bajo tarifas permanentemente más competitivas, que finalmente redunden en beneficio del usuario.
Tomando en cuenta la Ley Marco del Sector de Telecomunicaciones vigente, que regula básicamente los servicios públicos de telecomunicaciones, clasificándolos en: Servicios portadores; servicios finales, que comprenden los servicios básicos y los servicios complementarios; servicios de valor agregado y servicios de radiocomunicaciones y difusión. Para hacer posible dicha regulación, la Ley ha establecido un régimen de concesiones, licencias, permisos y registros, que en suma constituye un modelo de regulación preponderantemente ex-ante del mercado de telecomunicaciones.

Sistemas de telecomunicaciones humanitarias existentes
Hispasat, el operador español de telecomunicaciones por satélite, proporciona un servicio de conectividad y teleeducación gratuito a 15 escuelas y comunidades rurales de Honduras.
El servicio forma parte de una Alianza Público-Privada acordada en el marco de la ayuda humanitaria que España ha destinado a Honduras, para "paliar la devastación" que causaron las tormentas tropicales Eta e Iota, en noviembre, señaló Hispasat en un comunicado divulgado por la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID).
El operador español aportó el equipo necesario para el despliegue de 15 puntos wifi-satelitales en Honduras, así como una "solución de teleeducación" que permite descargar y registrar contenidos informativos en servidores locales para que los educandos puedan acceder a ellos de una forma eficiente.

Proveedores de servicios de Internet (ISPs)
La disponibilidad de servidores seguros de internet por cada millón de habitantes es de las más bajas de la región. Estos servidores son aquellos que utilizan tecnología de encriptación para realizar transacciones en la web, lo cual es importante para contar con mayor seguridad al enviar y recibir información digital a través de la red de internet. Entre menos servidores seguros existan en el país, más vulnerable es la información a ataques cibernéticos.

Operadores de redes móviles (MNO)
Es evidente el crecimiento en el uso del servicio de internet móvil comparado con el resto de los servicios, promovido por el acceso a plataformas que permiten el transporte de voz y datos, en particular mensajes de texto, no obstante, es aún limitado en el país, y su cobertura tiene aún mucho potencial de mejora principalmente en el interior del país.
El mercado de internet móvil tiene niveles de penetración muy bajos, inferiores al promedio de la región, pese al aumento en el tráfico de datos observado en el país, siendo uno de los más bajos a nivel latinoamericano. Esto, evidencia la necesidad de desarrollar el mercado de datos móviles.
Se ha observado en la situación de la cobertura de las redes de Telefonía Móvil a nivel nacional: Para la tecnología 2G una cobertura geográfica del 100% de las cabeceras municipales de Honduras, y una cobertura de la población de 89.03%.

Honduras - 3.5 Alimentación y proveedores adicionales
El mercado local de alimentos y otros productos en Honduras muestra un nivel de competencia considerable. Existen múltiples proveedores y productores locales que compiten en términos de calidad, variedad y precios. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que la capacidad del mercado local para satisfacer la demanda actual puede presentar limitaciones en ciertos sectores, especialmente en aquellos que requieren tecnologías y procesos más especializados. Factores como el acceso limitado a financiamiento, la falta de tecnologías agrícolas modernas, la variabilidad climática y los desafíos en la gestión de plagas y enfermedades también pueden limitar la capacidad de producción agrícola en Honduras. Esto puede afectar la oferta de alimentos frescos y locales en el mercado.
En cuanto a la capacidad de ampliación, el mercado local tiene un potencial significativo. Existen oportunidades para el crecimiento y la expansión de la producción local, en línea con la creciente demanda del país. Se observa un interés creciente en el sector agroindustrial y una mayor inversión en infraestructuras relacionadas con la producción y distribución de alimentos y otros productos.
En términos de importaciones y exportaciones, Honduras importa una variedad de productos, como cereales, productos lácteos, carne, frutas y verduras, para satisfacer la demanda interna. Al mismo tiempo, el país cuenta con una capacidad de exportación sólida en productos agrícolas, tales como café, banano, camarones y productos de palma aceitera. Estas exportaciones se han convertido en fuentes importantes de ingresos para el país.
La información genérica por países puede localizarse en fuentes que se mantienen con regularidad y reflejan hechos y cifras actuales. Para una visión general de los datos por países relacionados con los sectores de servicios y suministros, consulte las siguientes fuentes:

Honduras - 3.5.1 Proveedores de alimentos
Visión general
La disponibilidad alimentaria de Honduras se encuentra en una situación difícil. Aunque se ha extendido la conclusión de que la disponibilidad alimentaria ya no es considerada la dimensión más importante de la SAN, en función de la mayor importancia que adquiere el enfrentamiento de la inequidad en nuestras sociedades, todavía es sumamente importante para la economía rural de Honduras, donde se concentra la pobreza extrema.
Honduras tiene un alto potencial en materia agrícola, y cuenta con un clima tropical que permite la actividad productiva de este sector casi todo el año, garantizando la producción de tilapia, camarones, azúcar, cacao, café, banano, una amplia variedad de frutas, vegetales, entre otros.
Se puede encontrar información adicional en fuentes que se mantienen con regularidad y reflejan hechos y cifras actuales. Para obtener información más específica y detallada sobre la disponibilidad de alimentos y las condiciones del mercado, consulte las siguientes fuentes:

Sector minorista
El sector del comercio minorista se debe enfrentar a desafíos importantes, como los mercados emergentes, un entorno comercial que evoluciona rápidamente y la necesidad de ofrecer un servicio conveniente en una industria que demanda cada vez más.
Ahora, las cadenas de suministro deben ofrecer un servicio impecable e incorporar todos estos factores para, así, superar estos desafíos.
A continuación, se muestra una taba con un indicativo de rango relativo para el tipo de minorista, donde 1 es lo que usa más la población y 5 lo que menos se utiliza:

Mayorista – Supermercados la colonia
Supermercados La Colonia es una cadena de supermercados establecida en Honduras desde hace más de 60 años. Opera en las principales zonas urbanas del país y goza de una destacada reputación a nivel regional, ofreciendo una amplia gama de productos y servicios a los consumidores hondureños.
En Honduras hablando en términos generales y sencillos, el canal mayorista es un intermediario. Donde las empresas que actúan en este sector de negocio compran sus productos directamente a las industrias, fabricantes e incluso a otros mayoristas revendedores.
Para dar un ejemplo, el mercado de maíz blanco y amarillo está dominado por un reducido número de mayoristas, que operan en Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula y en poblaciones intermedias cercanas a las principales zonas productoras. La mayor parte de la producción de este grano se canaliza a través de los Convenios de compraventa entre los productores y la agroindustria constituidos con el apoyo del Estado, a través de la Secretaría de Agricultura y Ganadería (SAG), y la Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico (SDE).
A continuación, se presenta a manera de resumen el panorama general:

Honduras - 3.5.2 Proveedores adicionales
Vision general
Honduras posee múltiples fortalezas y el potencial para un crecimiento más rápido y una mayor prosperidad compartida, debido a su ubicación estratégica, una base industrial en crecimiento, esfuerzos continuos para diversificar sus exportaciones y una población joven y en crecimiento.
En Honduras, se cuenta con una disponibilidad variada de equipos de apoyo operativo y otros materiales pertinentes que son utilizados tanto en operaciones humanitarias como en la programación a nivel nacional y de distrito. Estos productos básicos clave se adquieren a través de diferentes canales, incluyendo importaciones y asociaciones comerciales con proveedores nacionales e internacionales.
En términos de equipamiento para operaciones humanitarias, se encuentran disponibles tiendas de campaña de diferentes tamaños y capacidades para brindar refugio temporal a personas desplazadas o afectadas por desastres. Asimismo, se cuenta con bombas de agua y sistemas de tuberías para facilitar el acceso al agua potable en áreas donde la infraestructura hídrica puede ser limitada. Los depósitos de agua también están disponibles para el almacenamiento y distribución de agua en comunidades que necesitan abastecimiento adicional.
Algunos de los principales sectores económicos en Honduras según su actividad son:
- Agropecuario: es el más importante generador de producción, ingresos, exportaciones y empleo de la economía hondureña, además de que aporta valiosos servicios ambientales. La población rural emigrada al extranjero envía importantes ingresos en divisas. Sin embargo, el sector recibe escaso apoyo estatal, crédito e inversiones, lo que restringe su desarrollo sostenido. En los últimos años su crecimiento ha sido débil y volátil, con baja productividad y escasamente competitivo, y el potencial de los bosques es subutilizado. Algunas actividades (melón, palma africana, avicultura, acuicultura, caña de azúcar y piña) muestran un fuerte dinamismo y en ellas se ha podido lograr cierta diversificación.
- Silvicultura: la importancia de este sector es que aporta al crecimiento económico de Honduras un 0.87% presentando así un déficit en la balanza comercial de productos madereros durante los años en estudio; anudado a lo anterior en el país el aprovechamiento en cuanto al bosque se refleja a nivel privado con fines industriales utilizando la madera en rollo de pino en mayores proporciones, es decir el aprovechamiento ha sido únicamente de carácter de materia prima y pocos son los procesos tecnológicos que permiten a dichos productos obtener un mayor valor agregado.
- Industria de la Maquila: El sector maquila es una de las industrias protagonistas de la economía hondureña. Tiene gran importancia para el país, tanto en la atracción de Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) como en la generación de nuevas fuentes de empleo. Según datos de la Asociación Hondureña de Maquiladores, hace un señalamiento que forman parte del sector 315 empresas nacionales y extranjeras distribuidas en 9 rubros. Las oportunidades de negocio se dan a lo largo de toda la cadena de valor del sector maquilero. De tal forma que entre más integrada este, más competitiva se vuelve. Estas van desde suministro de insumos, diseño, empaque, servicios varios e integrales como los de sistemas de administración y logísticos, entre otros.
- Energía Eléctrica y Agua: el sector eléctrico en Honduras se denomina una empresa de servicios integrada verticalmente (excepto la mitad aproximadamente de la capacidad de Generación de electricidad generación), un intento inconcluso de reformar el sector a principios de los 90, el creciente porcentaje de generación térmica en las últimas dos décadas, el débil estado financiero de la empresa estatal (ENEE) (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica), las grandes pérdidas técnicas y comerciales en transmisión y distribución, y la pobre cobertura eléctrica en áreas rurales.
El sector de agua potable y saneamiento ha obtenido una cobertura de servicios de abastecimiento de agua y saneamiento, así mismo ha tenido un aumento significativamente durante las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, los servicios evidencian deficiencias en cuanto a su calidad y eficiencia, y todavía persisten las brechas en cobertura, en especial en las zonas rurales.
- Construcción: el sector de la industria para la construcción aporta aproximadamente entre el 6.3 y 6.8 por ciento del PIB, por lo que este rubro ocupa la sexta posición de importancia para la economía nacional y además es la tercera actividad económica que más empleos genera.
- Transporte: encargado de la movilización de las diferentes mercancías y transporte de pasajeros de manera máxima, en donde se incluyen el servicio de transporte terrestre y aéreo.
- Comunicaciones: han ido avanzando a buen ritmo, innovando en ellas casi al mismo tiempo que los demás países. Recalcando que Honduras tiene todavía un camino por recorrer en materia de estrategias comunicativas, pero así mismo registro un aumento del 3,6% en el 2022.

Electricidad y energía
El sector eléctrico de Honduras es bastante variado, por lo que se ofrecen diferentes fuentes de producción energética en el país, se identifican 7 energéticos primarios: hidroenergía, eólica, geotermia, solar, leña, bagazo, y combustibles vegetales. Estas fuentes de energía se les conoce como primarias porque no necesitan ningún tipo de transformación y, por lo tanto, pueden ser utilizados tal y como son encontradas en la naturaleza. Cada una de ellas representadas por una red de empresa que buscan ofrecer un mejor servicio al pueblo hondureños.
La energía eléctrica puede llegar a los hogares de maneras diversas. La energía hidroeléctrica es la más común de ellas. En Honduras existe la décimo sexta represa hidroeléctrica de todo el mundo la “Central Hidroeléctrica Francisco Morazán” constituyéndose así en una de las principales fuentes de energía eléctrica del país.

Honduras - 3.7 Evaluación de la infraestructura de gestión de residuos y reciclaje
Visión general
La recolección de residuos varía según las infraestructuras disponibles en cada municipio. Algunos cuentan con vehículos recolectores que recorren las áreas, recogiendo los desechos y transportándolos a su destino final. Sin embargo, esta modalidad no alcanza a cubrir el 100% de la población en estas zonas.
Otros municipios no cuentan con servicio de recolección siendo la población de manera particular quien lleva los residuos hasta el sitio de disposición final.
La recolección de residuos se lleva a cabo a través de dos modalidades: el servicio municipal y la concesión a empresas privadas.
Se ha establecido el Acuerdo Ejecutivo 1567-2010, publicado en el Diario Oficial La Gaceta el 22 de febrero de 2011, que regula el manejo integral de los residuos sólidos a nivel nacional. Para obtener este reglamento, se puede solicitar información a la Dirección de Gestión Ambiental de la Secretaría de Recursos Naturales y Ambiente.
Actualmente, no se dispone de un estudio exhaustivo que describa el estado de todos los sitios de disposición final de residuos. Sin embargo, se cuenta con información sobre ciertos rellenos sanitarios que cuentan con instalaciones apropiadas para el tratamiento de residuos, como es el caso del Relleno Sanitario del Valle de Sensenti, que es un relleno sanitario mancomunado que ofrece servicios a varios municipios y se destaca por su capacidad para brindar un tratamiento adecuado a los residuos.
Las autoridades en colaboración con la empresa privada realizan campañas de promoción de la práctica del reciclaje y existen empresas privadas certificadas para el reciclaje de diversos materiales como el PET y el vidrio, sin embargo, no existe un programa de reciclaje que obligue a los usuarios a realizar el reciclaje de los residuos recuperables.
