El Salvador - 1 Country Profile
Generic Information
El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador, is a sovereign country in Central America located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean with a territorial extension of 21,041 km². In January 2023, the country registered an estimated population of 6,348,987 people. Its climate is warm tropical, but due to the geographical contrast the climate can vary. El Salvador borders Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east, to the southeast the Gulf of Fonseca separates it from Nicaragua and is flanked to the south by the Pacific Ocean. Its territory is organized into 14 departments, 35 districts and 262 municipalities. The city of San Salvador is the capital of the country; its metropolitan area includes 14 nearby municipalities and concentrates the political and economic activity of the republic. The cities of San Miguel and Santa Ana are other important centres of the country.
In 1986, an earthquake destroyed a large part of the city of San Salvador with a total of 3,500 deaths and 200,000 victims. On January 13, 2001, another earthquake caused great destruction throughout the country. One of the most important human tragedies that occurred as a result of the earthquake was a landslide in the so-called Bálsamo mountain range, in the city of Santa Tecla (La Libertad), which caused the death of 700 people and in total the earthquake killed 944 people and left several thousand homeless. In 2001, exactly one month later, another earthquake killed 315 people, leaving hundreds of families without their homes, especially in the interior of the republic, where most of the poor people live.
On February 3, 2019, the politician, businessman and former mayor of San Salvador, Nayib Bukele, of the Gran Alliance for National Unity (GANA) party and in alliance with Nuevas Ideas, won the presidential election, period will end on May 31, 2024.
The coronavirus pandemic spread to El Salvador on March 18, 2020. As of April 12, 2022, the Government of El Salvador reported 162,089 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country, 162,089 confirmed cases, 4,122 deaths and 157,967 recovered.
The Salvadoran economy has experienced a mixture of results during the successive governments of the ARENA party in the initiatives of the free market and the fiscal management model that include the privatization of the banking system, telecommunications, public pensions, electricity distribution, and a part of electricity generation, reduction of tariffs, elimination of price controls and an improved enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Since 2001, the country adopted, by legislative decree, the dollar as its official currency and the old colón was replaced. Since the change was made, interest rates have fallen and Salvadorans with access to credit have obtained it at the lowest rates in three decades.
Remittances from Salvadorans who work in the United States and send their family members are an important source of income from abroad and make up for the substantial trade deficit of around $ 4,000,000,000. Remittances have increased steadily over the past decade and have reached an absolute high of $ 3,780,000,000 in 2008 — roughly 17.1% of gross domestic product (GDP).
In April 2004, international reserves were estimated at $ 1.9 billion. In recent years, inflation has fallen to single-digit levels and total exports have grown substantially.

* Centre for Research on Epidemiology of Disasters, Belgium.
El Salvador is extremely prone to natural disasters. It ranks among the ten most vulnerable countries to natural hazards in the world (CRED/OFDA), and is rated first by the World Bank in terms of overall vulnerability based on Economic Risk to GDP from two or more natural hazards (WB, 2005). Nearly 90 percent of total country area is at risk of disaster, representing over 95 percent of the population and 96 percent of GDP. In the past 11 years, the country suffered three major disasters which impacted thousands and severely hampered economic progress. Two major earthquakes in 2001 affected 1.5 million people with economic losses of US$ 1.6 billion. In 2005, the country was simultaneously affected by the eruption of the Ilamatepec Volcano and tropical storm Stan; the total impact of the two phenomena was US$355.6 million (with US$196.2 million in damages and US$159.5 million in losses). In 2011, Tropical Depression 12E hit El Salvador, affecting more than 0.5 million people and causing US$840 million in damages and losses.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The government has since 2009 changed some of the former structures. WFP's main counterpart in Supply Chain is SIS/DAA (Secretaría de Inclusión Social/División de Asistencia Alimentaria – Secretariat for Social Inclusion/Food Assistance Division), responsible for warehouse management and staffing.
The Government of El Salvador’s (GoES) response to the tropical storms (Agatha, Alex, and E12) can be seen as a step forward compared with previous emergencies (i.e. lesson learned from Ida and E12). The Government had available in its warehouses relief items (mattress, clothes, hygiene kits, medical kits, etc.) and food rations to assist the affected populations. The humanitarian community also provided support in terms of food assistance (WFP and others). The capacity of response has to be improved in view of possible major emergencies, especially in the area of coordination with all actors involved in the response. The humanitarian community, in coordination with GoES’ Civil Protection, has initiated the creation of a humanitarian network, which is currently ongoing.
The Coordination Center for Disaster Prevention in Latin America (CEPREDENAC as per Spanish acronym), is a regional inter-governmental entity, working under the Central America Integration System (SICA as per Spanish acronym) as a specialised secretariat. It has been created with the mandate of promoting activities, projects and programmes focused on reduction of risks during natural disasters. The Center promotes and coordinates the international cooperation, information sharing, with the exchange of experiences and technical/scientific evaluations regarding prevention, mitigation and emergency response.

Humanitarian Community
A Contingency Plan preparing for floods and landslides caused by hurricanes and rainfall was developed between June and November in 2006. This was updated in 2007, 2008 and it is being re-drafted in 2017. This plan has been prepared by the United Nations Emergency Team (UNETE) which is composed by the main UN actors involved in emergency response (WFP, FAO, UNICEF, IOM, WHO, UNDP, UNFPA, OCHA). UNETE members are fully involved in the establishment of the Humanitarian Network for El Salvador together with some NGOs (CARE, OXFAM, Plan International, CRS, Lutheran World Federation, WVI, Save the Children), the National Red Cross and National Civil Protection. WFP in El Salvador developed the Central American Early Warning System (SATCA) to monitor weather hazards. This is a tool that has provided timely and consolidated information on natural events in the region.
The following web resources have been established to support a humanitarian response in terms of preparedness and emergency response:

Transit Regime
Internal transit is a simple process through Central American countries. Basically, a declaration must be stated at the Customs office where the goods are entering the region in order to obtain a temporary permit for internal transit. Depending on whether the goods have origin in Central America or not, a different kind of declaration will be stated in each case. For Central American products, the declaration is called FAUCA, Formulario Aduanero Unico Centroamericano. For products with origins outside Central America, the declaration is called, Declaración de Mercancías para el Tránsito Aduanero Internacional Terrestre, or also known as DTI.
All regulations concerning this declaration are expressed in the Reglamento sobre el Régimen de Tránsito Aduanero Internacional Terrestre ,Formulario de Declaración e instructivo (pages 313-336: RECOPILACION DE LEYES ADUANERAS, Editorial Jurídica Salvadoreña, 6ª Edición Lic.Ricardo Mendoza Orantes 2006).
The following Flow shows the process for transit trucks in El Salvador
El Salvador - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
According to the World Bank´s Logistics Performance Index El Salvador by 2023 had a score of 2.7. The country was placed as the second country with most difficulties to get into the global economy through commerce. This was due to the low logistics performance.
On the roads side, El Salvador in 2015 was the second country of the region for having the best roads. As of 2017 the total of paved roads was 3,748.89kms. By 2020, the country accounts 4,033.25km paved roads and 2,394.76km of non-paved roads. Due to the increase of traffic, new roads had to be open, i.e.: peripheral rings of Sonsonate and San Miguel.
As of 2019, El Salvador´s traffic has increased not only by the increase of vehicles, but also due to the public transportation disorder and its contamination due to the bad conditions of the buses. According to the vice-Ministry of Transportation the number of vehicles in 2019 was 1,237,000 with a monthly increase of 1.2%, which means 8,000 vehicles a month. This increase of vehicles has also congested the two main roads (littoral and Pan-American), which also is occupied by heavy trucks traveling along the central American countries.
El Salvador has two ports, Puerto de Acajutla and La Union. Acajutla port is the main port fully working receiving cargo ships. El Puerto de La Union was constructed by JICA (2005), however it operates an average of 8 ships a month. It is expected that this year it can operate in a project together with Port Calderas in Costa Rica. The project is to transport loaded trucks on a ferry between the two countries. It is worth to mention that at the same time the port of La Union was under construction, the Ministry of Education launched Logistics as a career to study so there would be prepared personnel to work on said port. Unfortunately, most of the graduates had to find jobs in other areas or are jobless.
At the moment El Salvador has the following ongoing projects:
-
A second USA Millennium project to improve the Litoral highway, and such the improvement of commerce on that area.
-
A ferry between La Union port in El Salvador and Calderas Port in Costa Rica for the use of a ferry to transport loaded trucks. This will enable the transit that is blocked at the border Nicaragua-Costa Rica.
-
MOARG International Airport is still expanding, operating at 100%. The improvements are more space in the waiting area, more shops and expanded space for more planes.
-
Construction of a peripheral ring road in San Miguel area for heavy transport go straight to El Amatillo border. This will help to decongest La Ruta Militar road, which crosses around San Miguel.
El Salvador - 2.1 Port Assessment
El Salvador has a versatile port infrastructure to meet the needs of maritime cargo effectively. The two main ports are Acajutla, located in the western region of the country and mainly specialized in handling bulk cargo, and La Union, located in the eastern region and designed especially for containerized cargo.
Port of Acajutla
The port of Acajutla has three modern terminals equipped for the arrival of all types of vessels, storage areas and specialized handling cargo equipment.
Port of La Unión
The Port of La Union is the largest port of El Salvador, and is projected as one of the most important and modern port infrastructures in Central America:
- Designed for large vessels such as the Post-Panamax type vessels, giving the port a competitive advantage in the region.
- Strategically located in the centre of the region, between Mexico and Panama.
- The newest maritime terminal with an expansion potential up to three times its current size.
- Contributes to the aim of the Government of El Salvador to turn the country into a distribution and logistics centre for Central America.
Foreign trade follows the following routes: towards Central America, by land and by sea, trade uses the ports located both on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. On the Pacific side, the ports of Acajutla are used for El Salvador and Port Quetzal for Guatemala; the Port of La Unión is to enter operations in the near term. The other route is through the Atlantic using Port Barrios in Guatemala, and to a lesser degree Port Cortés in Honduras.
El Salvador - 2.1.1 Port of Acajutla
Port Overview
Port of Acajutla is a modern industrial Pacific Ocean port located in the the municipal of Acajutla in the Department of Sonsonate, southwest of El Salvador, 85 km from the capital San Salvador. Acajutla has 3 piers with 8 total docs, with offshore, privately owned, moorings available. The port tends to service an average of 49 ships per month, carrying containers, general cargo ships and fuel which are attended to at an offshore terminal. Adverse weather conditions, strong ocean currents, affect the port from April to June sometimes requiring ships to leave their berths. This phenomenon mainly affects QUAY B.

No priority is given to humanitarian cargo by the port and ships are attended to on a first-come first-serve basis. Storage capacity are as follows, Pier “A”, one covered warehouse 4,500 m², on land 4 covered facilities totaling 22,600 m². The conveyer belt system is run by two private companies, ALCASA and ALMAPAC. Bulk cargo is automatically transferred to their silos when the conveyer system is utilised. The silos at ALCASA have capacities of 143,000 mt, 47,000 mt in silos and 96,000 mt of storage is available in horizontal warehouses. ALCASA has the capacity to bag and dispatch 500 mt of product per day. ALMAPAC has a capacity of 120,000 mt in horizontal warehouses and 16,000 mt in silos.

Terminal Information
Oil Handling Terminal
The port of Acajutla is a multipurpose port, consisting of three quays called A, B and C, designed to accommodate vessels with average lengths of 150 meters. The loading or unloading of bulk liquid is carried out through pipes installed by different companies on the docks A and C. Likewise there are three private terminals handling liquid bulk outside the docks. The first terminal is owned by the company Refinery Port of Acajutla (RASA), the second one is owned by the Company CENERGICA. A third one is owned by ALBA Petroleum. CEPA has no storage tanks for liquid bulk, the goods move from Muller tanks owned by private enterprises or vice versa. When the ships arrive in port and conduct their operations on the docks, they are placed in positions of berthing previously allocated by CEPA, right on the sites where importing or exporting companies have installed their inlet pipes to conduct discharge from the docks to storage tanks or vice versa.
The main imported products are mobilised: Ethanol or alcohol, petrol and diesel; the main export products are: Ethanol Alcohol and molasses or cane.
Multipurpose terminal
Port Acajutla is a multipurpose port and there is not a specific multipurpose terminal.
Grain / Bulk handling
The discharge of solid bulk can be done in any of the quays of the Acajutla Port, in two ways:
- Using Conventional Methods: The download is done using cranes of the ship. The product is moved from the holds of the ship to dump located on the docks, and after it is placed in transport units to be moved towards private storage companies outside the port or into cellars strains known as BIN (whose capacity Storage is 18,000 MT).
- Using System High Performance: The download is done using a crane, which is connected to a conveyor system to move the product from the holds of the ship directly in the company’s storage, or by downloading from the cellars of the ship by conveyor belt and deposited in the transport units to be further moved to companies’ private storage outside the port or into cellars known as BIN.
The main bulk of solid imported are: corn, soy flour, wheat, rice, coal, urea fertilizer formulas, ammonium sulphate. The operations of all ships arriving at Port Companies are performed by six private contractors, who assign strains ships under a pre-established procedure.

Port Picture
Port Performance
Since its inauguration in 2010, the port has been barely used (95 vessels between 2014 and 2017). The government of Japan, through JICA, in 2019, started an assessment to the port in order to support the improvement of the basis for economic and social development through the development of economic infrastructure. In addition, it will promote technical assistance that contributes to the activation of the Port, built under the Reimbursable Financial Cooperation scheme. With this strategy is its hoped to define its role against Port of Acajutla and its complementarity to Puerto Cortes in Honduras and Port Santo Tomas de Castilla in Guatemala.
Statistics for 2019 show a total reception of 21 vessels (18,041.19MT: 23,242 TEU).
At the moment the type of ships that can enter to the port are those type of Panamax that mobilise 4,66 TEU or Post Panamax mobilising 6,500 TEU.

El Salvador - 2.2 Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: https://www.cepa.gob.sv/
Key airport information may also be found at: World Airport Database
Overview
When the Civil Aeronautics Act was issued in 1955, it also included the creation of the Department of Civil Aviation, which in 1962 became the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA). DGCA was given the responsibility to develop the modernization project of Ilopango International Airport, which was concluded later in 1965. In December 1979 it was agreed to suspend the international traffic in Ilopango Airport as of January 1980, moving the traffic to Comalapa Airport (managed by CEPA), which became the main airport for El Salvador. Ilopango remained active only for military use and for a small proportion for civil aviation. In October 1987 the Ilopango airport re-opened for international traffic in a limited way, for private aviation operations, air taxis, air ambulances, flights on official duty, civilian and military assistance. In 1994 with the establishment of the Department of Transportation, the DGCA ceased to belong to the Ministry of Economy and became part of this Department under the name of Directorate General of Air Transport (DGTA). In October 2001 the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador adopted the new reforms of the DGTA including the autonomy of the institution to become the Civil Aviation Authority. Beginning in 2005 the institution has been restructured to improve its technical staff and expanding the service coverage. By 22 March 2017, the Civil Aviation approved an Advisory Circular “Airports Emergency Plan” (CA No. 139-365-05), regarding a plan to be followed in case of emergency inside/outside the airports and airplanes. In follow-up to know the achievement of this plan.

General Overview
El Salvador International Airport (AIES) has a main runway (07-25) of 3,200 meters long, 60 meters wide. Parallel to the main runway there is the taxiway "Alfa", which connects the track through six outings. For use of small aircraft, it was built also a secondary runway (18-36), with a length of 800 meters, which is currently used as parking "LP" for aircraft. The platform of the Passenger Terminal Building (ETP) has seventeen positions for aircraft parking; fourteen of them have their respective boarding bridges, connecting the aircraft directly to their waiting rooms. The three remaining positions are "remote", meaning that passengers who disembark in any of them are transferred to the terminal with airbuses. The ETP has built a total area of 34,380 square meters, which is home to waiting rooms and corridors, areas of Immigration and Customs and diversity of stores. Based on passenger traffic, this is the third busiest airport in Central America. In 2010, fewer than two million passengers passed through AIES.
It is expected that before the end of the first half of 2021 the expansion of the airport will be inaugurated, which will include 5 new waiting rooms for passengers.
It is important to mention that the WFP has an agreement with the 2nd. air brigade of the Salvadoran Air Force, next to the airport, where we have a military ramp for PMA air activities, as a second option for operations.

Security
El Salvador International Airport (AIES), located in Comalapa, was built in the late 1970s. It is well guarded by CEPA, a private transportation authority, and the National Police. The airport uses the same grounds as the principal military airbase, only 2 km from the passenger terminal. Customs has a very strong presence at both the passenger and cargo terminals, and uses trained dogs to detect for explosives and narcotics. Inside the terminal, the Airport Authority Police and National Police Force have installed metal detectors to further guarantee security there. The police have also implemented better protocols in order to prevent drug trafficking. The Airport Authority Police and National Police Force are present outside the terminals, too. The airport has a guarded parking area. Security problems are quite common on the road from the airport to the capital, a distance of 43 kilometers, were criminals are very active.

El Salvador - 2.2.2 Ilopango International Airport
Overview
Ilopango Airport was once the International airport until Monseñor Arnulfo Romero, in Comalapa, was made operational. Ilopango handles both military and civilian flights (private airplanes). Following the Earthquakes in 2001, Ilopango became the principal while damage assessments were carried out on the runways at the International airport in Comalapa. A new passenger’s terminal was inaugurated in 2016. The waiting room has a capacity for 60 maximum passengers. The new terminal also has capacity to attend 1,100 passengers a month. Flights are available by a Guatemalan company to Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize (via Guatemala).

Others
In April 2013 Deutsche Post DHL in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the “Get Airports Ready for Disasters (GARD) Programme “carried out a training at the two airports of El Salvador (Comalapa and Ilopango) in order to assess the capacity of the two airports in case of emergencies, so Salvadorian authorities be able to optimize their capacity of relieving goods and to allow smoother processes at the airports.
Participants of this training were from entities who take part during emergencies in the country such as Aviation Authority, Comision Ejecutiva Portuaria Autonoma (CEPA), Civil Protection, Red Cross, the World Food Programme, US Navy, El Salvador Armed Forces, US NAVY, El Salvador Armed Forces, and UNDP.
The following findings and recommendations were discussed at the training and a final document will be sent by DHL to the participants, so measures are taken.
Ilopango Airport
Findings:
- Ilopango airport is located on a landslide high risk land, which minimizes its probability of extension.
- There is not enough loading/offloading equipment.
- Sanitation service is limited.
- In case of emergency, there is no generator for general lighting.
- Building is small for migration, customs, security, warehousing and for accommodation in case of emergency.
- The capacity to supply fuel for wide-body aircrafts is limited.
- Limited lighting for runways.
- Armed forces are available for first response duties.
- There is capacity to receive military wide-body aircrafts.
- The armed forces have a Rescue Humanitarian Unit.
Recommendations:
- For emergency operations, the airport is good for light-cargo aircrafts and helicopters.
- When planning, it is good to consider Ilopango as an alternate airport.
- Consideration to obtain an emergency generator
- Provide emergency lighting system for the runaway
- Modernize and reinforce sanitation services.
Monseñor Oscar Arnulfo Romero - International Airport
Findings:
- In case of emergency there is not a contingency plan specifically for the cargo terminal, as well as for Customs, Civil National Police, Armed Forces, and land support companies.
- Lack of additional equipment for loading/offloading humanitarian cargo from aircrafts.
- Not enough space for passenger terminal (Migration and Customs).
- Lack of vehicles for transporting passengers from remote places.
- Lack of enough equipment to mobilize cargo.
- Lack of enough human resources for cargo management.
- Lack of enough office material and equipment to process information for dispatching humanitarian aids.
Recommendations:
- Prepare a contingency plan for cargo terminal.
- Celebrate agreements with land support companies at AIES in order to attend aircrafts at the moment of emergencies.
- Extend passenger terminal.
- Acquisition of airbuses.
- Extend space to habilitate passenger service points.
- Provide equipment for emergency management.
- Continuous training for the existing team.

El Salvador - 2.3 Road Network
Roads Overview
Intercity Road Network
A network of paved and non paved roads connect the country. The rather good conditions of roads allows for the quick and easy transfer of goods and services from the municipalities to departmental capitals, ports, airports, borders, and regional roads that cross over the country. The execution of studies and projects are carried out through companies contracted by the MOP.
The Ministry of Public Works (MOP) is responsible for the planning, improvements and construction of the country’s road network. Maintenance of primary roads are carried out by private companies and paid with from the Road Maintenance Fund (FOVIAL).
Urban Road Network
This network consists of Urban Road Corridors that have high traffic. Urban roads enable connectivity within cities and with the intercity road network in such a way that facilitates economic, trade, educational, industrial and social activities in cities. This network is maintained by FOVIAL and MOP. The execution of studies and projects are carried out through companies contracted by the MOP.
El Salvador Road Maps are available in the following Annexes:
Annex VII El Salvador Roads Map (Source FOVIAL)
Annex XXII Road Map general information
For more information, please see the following link: 4.1 El Salvador Government Contact List
Road Construction/Maintenance
FOVIAL is responsible for maintenance of the national road network as such, a series of preventive and corrective maintenance activities are carried out every year to avoid sudden deterioration of roads caused by vehicle use and the natural elements like rain.
FOVIAL's main activities include:
• Surface Treatment:
- Stamps
- Irrigation of grout asphalt, micro surfacing
- Other types of treatments
• Renewal of the surface:
- Recycling
- Asphalt binder re-installation
• Stabilization bases
• Renewal shoulders
• Construction of drainage longitudinal
• Construction of cross drainage
• Placement signaling horizontal

Bridges
El Salvador has not erected several complex bridge structures. Outside the capital there are bridges that pass over rivers and have some important vehicle flow. There are two major bridges in the country:
- San Marcos Lempa Bridge (found on Highway CA-2) with a length of 700 meters and draft of 17.7 meters. Its construction costs amounted to US $25 million dollars and built in three years.
- The Pan American Highway Bridge (found on Highway CA-1) which spans 400 meters in length.
A list of Bridges in areas with high floods risk can be found in Annex II Bridges in areas with high floods risk.
International corridors leading to the Country
The foundation to develop and intertwine logistics and transport has come about with the construction of the Union Port. The notion of networking a road system around the Port would facilitate the transport of international cargo from the port to various cities in El Salvador.
As part of the Plan Puebla-Panama accords, six international corridors have been incorporated and enabled, from which three of them are in El Salvador:
- Port Union–Port Cortés
- La Libertad-Poy-San Pedro Sula (“Canal Seco”)
- Acajutla-Anguiatu-Rio Hondo-Guatemala International Inter-oceanic
Main corridors within the Country (leading to main towns / hubs)
El Salvador is a transit point for passengers and freight transport travelling from North to South America or vice versa. The Pan-American Highway passes through El Salvador and connects the capital, San Salvador, with land borders with Guatemala and Honduras. Two other major roads are the Coastal Highway, built in the 50's, which runs parallel to the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the North Trunk Road, which connects the capital with the department of Chalatenango.
El Salvador - 2.4 Railway Assessment
Railway Companies and Consortia
The private railway that exists in country had been out of service since 2002. The rail was revived in 2007 for the use of public transportation. The railway has brought a significant savings in transportation fees for low income families, who travelled between the municipalities of San Salvador, Ciudad Delgado and Apopa. A passenger train ticket with the El Salvador National Railways (FENADESAL) costs only US$ 0.10 cents. Not only passengers have benefited from the reopening of rail service, but also many people who are engaged in informal trade, selling edible products inside the carriages every day, while the train runs through the districts mentioned above. The Government is determining the feasibility to expand the service to the borders in order to support the supply chain of trade in the region, through the interconnection of the railway network with Honduras and Guatemala, and to ensure and promote the national vision to turn El Salvador into a center for value-added regional distribution. The total track distance is 283 Km.
Connections:
- Union Port – Apopa town
- Apopa town – Port of Acajutla
- Apopa town - Guatemalan border
- Town of San Jerónimo (El Salvador border) – Zacapa town – Port Barrios
For more information, please see the following links:
4.1 El Salvador Government Contact List
4.10 El Salvador Railway Company Contact List
Stations/Dry Ports
There are no dry ports in El Salvador, but Honduras has begun construction in 2008 of its stage of the "Dry Canal", the Central American inter-ocean highway. The project is backed by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE). The 100-kilometer route is to link Goascorán, on the border with El Salvador, with Villa de San Antonio in central Honduras. The Dry Canal aims to link the Pacific ports of La Unión (El Salvador), Henecán (Honduras) and Corinto (Nicaragua) with the Caribbean ports of Puerto Cortés (Honduras) and Puerto Barrios (Guatemala).
El Salvador - 2.5 Waterways Assessment
Waterways Overview
Commercial navigation along the rivers of El Salvador is almost nonexistent. The country's largest river, Rio Lempa, connects a network of over 150 smaller streams that are used for local transportation and commerce. The river is navigable only through short disconnected segments, by small shallow draft vessels.
The country has four large river basins and seven smaller river basins that drain the Pacific Coastal Cordillera. The four large river basins are:
- Rio Lempa basin
- Rio Goascoran basin
- Rio Grande de San Miguel basin
- Rio Paz basin
The Rio Lempa is the largest and most important river in El Salvador with its basin covering an area of 18,246 square kilometers (km2). Of this area, 10,255 km2 are in El Salvador, 5,696 km2 are in Honduras, and 2,295 km2 are in Guatemala. The Rio Lempa is also the largest river system in Central America with its water used mainly for hydroelectric power. As mentioned previously, there are three significant manmade reservoirs on the Rio Lempa which store enormous quantities of water for hydroelectric power generation. They are the Embalse Cerron Grande (135 km2 surface area), Embalse Presa Cinco de Noviembre (20 km2 surface area), and Embalse Quince de Septiembre, also called Embalse del San Lorenzo (35 km2 surface area). In addition, the Embalse del Guajoyo is a small reservoir on the Rio Desague in northwestern El Salvador that is also used for hydropower. Discharges from the reservoirs control the flow of the Rio Lempa. The average flow of the Rio Lempa is about 153 cubic meters per second (m3/s) from the Embalse Cerron Grande reservoir, about 197 m3/s from the Embalse Presa Cinco de Noviembre reservoir, about 329 m3/s at the Rio Torola confluence, and about 362 m3/s at the Cuscatlan Bridge on the Pan American Highway. The Rio Lempa receives domestic and industrial wastes from population located along its western margin and a high concentration of sediments from deforested zones along the eastern margin.
The seven smaller basins are:
- The coastal area between the Rio Cara Sucia and Rio Copinula;
- The coastal area between the Rio Sensunapan and Rio Banderas;
- The coastal area between the Rio Pululuya and Rio Comalapa;
- The Rio Jiboa basin;
- The coastal area between the Rio Jalponga and Rio El Guayabo;
- The coastal area between the Rio El Potrero and Rio El Molino; and
- The coastal area between the Rio Grande de San Miguel and Rio Sirama.
All rivers in El Salvador eventually discharge into the Pacific Ocean.
El Salvador has four main lakes:
- Lake Coatepeque, the largest, is a volcanic lake located 18 km south of the city of Santa Ana. It covers an area of 24 km2 and has a depth of 115 meters. Lake Coatepeque is also located at an altitude of 745 meters.
- Güija Lake, shared between El Salvador and Guatemala, is located in the northwest border of El Salvador and east of Guatemala. It is located at an altitude of 430 meters above sea level and covers an area approximately 45 km2.
- Lake Ilopango, of volcanic origins, measures 72 km2 and constitutes one of the largest water reserves and a beauty of El Salvador. Located 16 km from San Salvador and 440 meters above sea level, it reaches depths of 230 meters.
- Lake Olomega has the largest reserve of fresh water. Its length is 24.2 km2 and is located 15 kilometers southeast of San Miguel. It is fed and drained by the Rio Grande of San Miguel and its current state is eutrophication. Its jurisdiction is shared by the municipalities of Chirilagua (San Miguel) and El Carmen (La Union).

There are no important river/lake ports in country.
El Salvador - 2.6 Storage Assessment
Storage Overview
Public and private storage & warehouse facilities in El Salvador are quite acceptable with a range of options available nationwide. WFP used 3 warehouses from 2005 until 2014; which were owned and run by WFP’s Government Counterpart, the Food Assistance Directorate of the Secretariat for Social Inclusion (SIS/DAA). Currently WFP’s making use of one warehouse known as BFA Sitio del Niño. Warehouse staff is skilled with extensive knowledge on warehouse management, commodity handling, conservation techniques as well as WFP operating procedures. Insecticides for fumigation, (phosphine) gases are stored on site and can be purchased locally without difficulty. The staff has been trained on the use of fumigants and insecticides, safety measures etc. All warehouses used for the storage of WFP commodities are fixed structures, and not pre-fabricated (i.e. Wiikhall are currently used for WFP operations).
Therefore, WFP directly manages this BFA-Sitio del Niño warehouse, which is also on Government property (Banco de Fomento Agropecuario) and its management is shared between WFP and SIS/DAA.
For more information, please see the following link: 4.6 El Salvador Storage and Milling Company Contact List
Commercial Storage
The private storage & warehouse conditions in El Salvador are quite acceptable with a range of options available nationwide. The companies offer a variety of services such as warehouses with ample storage capacity, and logistics services, i.e., freight forwarding and distribution of goods. Cost of commercial warehousing ranges between 6 and 13 USD/MT/month (accessories services, like handling and fumigation are excluded).

El Salvador - 3 Services and Supply
Overview
Until February 2020 El Salvador had a wide variety of goods and services suppliers. Economy was going up. However, due to the lockdown of more than 75 days, the country will not open 17% of the companies, according to the Chamber Of Commerce. Banks, pharmacies and supermarkets were the ones that didn’t close business during the lockdown period.
Food production was not stopped, and in support imports via land, sea and air were approved by the government to continue. Any regional food or non-food item or service can be found with restrictions. In addition, in order to provide support in re-opening, the government has a project for small and middle companies, by providing funds and has opened a website (market.gob.sv) to promote their products.
It is worth to mention that there is need to be careful when buying. Many companies who´s type of business, per example, appliance / computer products maintenance services, no longer sell their services/products due to the COVID-19. Now they sell hygienic, personal protection products without having a certification for the new business. Clothing companies now sell hygienic products, etc.
From January 2021 to date, economic activity continues to normalize, jobs had a reduction during the pandemic, however they began to recover in 2021. Taking into account the high prices at the national and international level and the significant slowdown of the world economy, the most recent information available allows us to project that the growth of the Salvadoran economy in the second half of 2022 will be 2.6% with a decrease of 1.4% based on the projection. El Salvador in 2023, the Central Reserve Bank (BCR) believes that the economy will grow between 2% and 3%
Delivery and logistics services suppliers had increase, mainly in the urban area, providing service in motorcycle.
El Salvador - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
The Directorate of Hydrocarbons and Mines is empowered to regulate and monitor the import and export, deposit, transport, distribution and marketing of oil products, as well as the construction and operation of deposits and tanks for consumption private, and other related activities such as: verification of the quantity and quality of fuels, monitoring of the maximum price of LPG and compliance with industrial safety measures in the facilities that store and sell oil products.
Additionally, the law regulating the deposit, transportation and distribution of oil products empowers the Directorate to calculate and publish the reference prices for fuels; as well as the maximum price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas for domestic consumption.
Imports of oil and derivatives from the United States displace Venezuela and Ecuador, after the consolidation of the United States market as the main supplier of hydrocarbons in El Salvador (data from the Central Reserve Bank (BCR). The oil bill reached USD1,493.7 million at the end of 2019, equivalent to 9.7% less compared to the USD1,654.24 million in 2018. This means that Salvadorans paid USD160.5 million less for the hydrocarbons consumed throughout the past year.
BCR statistics reveal that Venezuela remained, in the last two decades, as one of the country's main suppliers, gained momentum between 2011 and 2014, but imports began to fall in 2016. The BCR data indicate that the oil bill until April 2023 in gasoline imports reached USD281.78 million and reflected an increase of 41.5% compared to 2022. Diesel reached USD251.22 million, an increase of 77% compared to 2022.
The imported oil products are traded by a total of 491 fuel stations as of to date, which includes: ALBA Petroleum (1 station), White Flag (106 stations), DLC (26 stations), PUMA (116 stations), Texaco (129 stations) and UNO (113).
The following tables show an annual (in USD) consumption in Gallons as of April 2023, by sector/company and by product/company.

El Salvador - 3.2 Transporters
El Salvador is part of FECATRANS (Central American Federation of Transporters) has two main road transport associations. It also has two main transport associations: ASTIC – Salvadorean Association for International Cargo Transporters (73 members) and ASAC – Salvadorian Association for Transit and Cargo Agents (50 members). Many of these members also are logistics forwarders agents and provide transport via land, air and sea.
The Customs has a list of more than 3,000 transporters, which contains names, address, contact, risk level and status. The size of these transporters goes from 1 truck to 200 trucks and truck sizes go from 1.5mt to 52ft trucks, and mostly in good conditions.
Mainly roads in El Salvador are passable, specially the three highways: Longitudinal del Norte, which is located on the north area of the country and goes from Santa Ana to La Union. Panamericana, which is in the middle and Litoral by the coast side. These two go from Ahuachapán to La Union.
Traffic is the biggest problem in the country; therefore, transit schedule was provided for heavy trucks. In this sense, heavy trucks will stop circulating at 05:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., on the Boulevard Fuerza Armada, Pan-American Highway, Constitución Boulevard and the Troncal del Norte. During these times, carriers must use alternate routes to continue their journey without entering San Salvador. The measure, imposed by the Vice Ministry of Transportation (VMT) back in 2014, aimed to reduce traffic and reduce pollution in the most congested points of the metropolitan area. However, due to the COVID-19 there are no more time restrictions to transit.

El Salvador - 3.4 Telecommunications
Overview
In 2010, Article 8 of the Telecommunications Law, Official Gazette No. 67, Volume No. 387, dated 04/14/10, gave the provisions to the SIGET (General Superintendence of Electricity and Telecommunications) to fix the maximum value in both the basic rates of the public fixed and mobile telephony service, such as basic interconnection charges. The Regulation of the Telecommunications Law has undergone several reforms, including the following: July 2011, Official Gazette of 07/15/11, No 133, Volume No 392. July 2012, Official Gazette of 07/24/12, No 137, Volume No 396. October 2012, Official Gazette of 10/26/12, No 201, Volume No 397.
The new Telecommunications Law allowed the opening of new companies for both fixed and mobile telephony and also television, giving the country an important boost to the extent that currently the number of mobile phones exceeds that of inhabitants, and cable television signals they have proliferated through local operators even in small towns.
As of May 2013, eight fixed telephony operators (CTE SA de CV, El Salvador Network, SA, GCA Telecom SA de CV, Telecam SA de CV, Telemovil El Salvador, SA de CV, are in operation and offering the telephony service to end users). Digicel, SA de CV, Telefonía Móviles El Salvador, SA de CV, CTE Telecom Personal, SA de CV). The last four companies provide fixed and mobile telephony services and five mobile telephony operators (CTE Telecom Personal SA de CV, Telefónica Móviles SA de CV, Digicel SA de CV, Telemóvil El Salvador SA, Intelfon SA de CV) The latter also offers the trunked digital radio service. There are other companies that have a concession to provide public telephony service, however, to date they only offer intermediate services (four companies). In addition, other companies are in the process of marketing telephony services. The growth of competition has allowed users to have more options of choice, greater coverage throughout the country and more competitive telephone rates. It should be noted that the growth of mobile telephony through the explosive technology of cell phones has been stagnating and even reducing the growth of fixed telephony. Mobile telephony, in addition to offering the advantage of its physical portability, offers new messaging services, data, images, internet access and other services whose growth has become vertiginous.
There are four main providers in El Salvador: Tigo, Claro, Movistar and Digicel. Each has been tried and tested by locals and visitors, and they can all be trusted. According to the OpenSignal country signal map, El Salvador's network is good near major cities and urban areas, but once you head towards the outer, more suburban regions, it can get worse. However, El Salvador remains "fair" among its global and Central American peers in terms of coverage.
The Salvadoran market leader is Tigo, followed by Claro, Movistar and Digicel. The four operators offer prepaid SIM cards and they can be purchased in stores, supermarkets, kiosks, pharmacies, official stores and at the El Salvador International Airport. 2G, 3G and 4G wireless plans are available on all networks for unlocked GSM phones. SIM cards can be purchased by showing your passport, and your phone number activates them. To add credit, you can buy store and supermarket vouchers, and it can also be collected online. Below we have divided each telecommunications provider to highlight exactly what they can offer you during your stay in El Salvador.

Approximate Percentage of National Coverage |
By the first quarter of 2016, 82 percent of the country’s territory had access to a mobile network coverage, mostly in urban areas. However, Tigo, Telefónica, Claro and Digicel are investing in infrastructure to increase their network coverage in rural areas. Mobile users are increasing the use of data and Internet speed requirements, urging the mobile companies to increase the network coverage and speed connection. Currently, according to International Telecommunications Union (ITU), El Salvador is the country that has least advanced in the implementation of LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology or 4G. It is the only country in Central America. |
Telecommunications Regulations
One of the factors that have favored the growth of mobile telephony is the prepaid mode under which the user can buy services in small batches, without being contractually bound to a minimum term or consumption. The current pricing system in El Salvador favors communication through a system where only the caller pays.
The wireless communication infrastructure and the location of the transmission towers in prominent geographical sites, has allowed the country to practically all the national territory to be covered with signal, which has opened the service for the entire rural area with the consequent benefits that this it means.
Specific Faculties of the SIGET:
- Apply the treaties, laws and regulations required by the activities of the electricity and telecommunications sectors. Approve the rates referred to in the electricity and telecommunications laws.
- Settle disputes between operators in the electricity and telecommunications sectors, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable regulations.
- Inform the respective authority of the existence of practices that threaten free competition.
- Represent the country before international organizations related to the electricity and telecommunications sectors.
- Carry out the orbits of foreign satellites and coordinate their operation with foreign satellites; as well as with international organizations and companies.
- Carry out all the acts, contracts, and operations that are necessary to fulfill the objectives imposed by the laws, regulations and other general provisions.
- The interconnection of networks is mandatory for operators that provide telecommunications services as it is an essential resource, according to article 19 of the Law.

El Salvador - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers
The agricultural sector and food sovereignty are among the priorities of President Nayib Bukele, as he has demonstrated since the beginning of his administration.
The agricultural and food sectors in El Salvador could face a difficult year in 2023. For the agricultural cycle 2023-2024, a reactivation of AGRO is expected, a cereal production in this year will be around 20 million quintals.
It is expected corn harvest in average of 15 million quintals, in the first planting from May to June 75% out of total is expected.

In the case of sorghum is expected 2 million quintals and rice 712 thousand quintals.
A study by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) on family farming and agri-food supply warns of the negative effects of measures taken in the face of the pandemic. The survey explored what has had an impact on family farming production and food supply and found that some of the difficulties have been due to health protection protocols (53%), food transportation and distribution (50 %), access to financial capital (49%) and lack of storage capacity (43%), among others.
According to the Latin American and Caribbean Coordinator of Small Producers and Fair-Trade Workers (CLAC), the pandemic has caused an increase in the costs of sanitary supplies necessary for production, packaging and export. Producers are suffering a double economic impact from phenomena associated with climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries that are exposed to climate change and COVID-19 have at least a 20% drop in their production level.
By June of 2023, El Salvador exported in general a total of US$1,754.23 million, it has decreased 6.29% compared to June 2022, where the exports were US$1,871.99 million.
