• Main exports: Coffee, bananas, shrimp, lobster, meat, zinc and timber.
• Main trade partners: Guatemala, Mexico, UK, Canada and USA.
Economy
Honduras suffers from massive unemployment and extremely uneven distribution of wealth. Export earnings have been badly hit in recent years by low world prices and slack demand within the Central American Common Market, of which Honduras is a member. To compound its difficulties further, Honduras is still feeling the consequences of Hurricane Mitch in 1998, which caused an estimated US$3 billion worth of damage.
