Entrails Exported to Thailand
In order to open more markets, Honduras started exporting entrails of bovine
animal: such as spleen, bile, tendons and others to the Thailand markets.
A container worth $125.000 with 25.000 kilos of entrails was sent
through a Cattle and Beef Processing Company, C&D.
Authorities of the National Health Service (SENASA) of the Honduran
Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock assured that C&D will send to Thailand
a monthly container with entrails. They also informed that there are
seven other countries to export too, which shows that Honduras is able to
conquer large markets. In the next months, Honduras will export chicken
to the United States as well.

Shrimp are on the front as a product to export to Europe
Authorities of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (SIC)
informed that since the Association Agreement (ADA) was put
into practice, they have received about 100 requests to export
shrimp to Europe and 20 requests to export bananas.
In addition to the products mentioned above, palm oil has a
promising future in the foreign business. Sugar could also be
exported during the year since we produce more than 10.000
tons. Coffee exports continue to lead, followed by palm oil and
shrimp, and then fruits like melon, among other products.

Expected Exports Projections of 15 million dollars for Dairy Products
According to the National Health Service
(SENASA), exports of dairy products in the regional
and United States market
would bring about 15 million
dollars ( about 300 million
Lempiras) to the Honduran
economy.
SENASA authorities claimed that there is a high demand for
these products, mainly for sour cream and fresh cheese,
which exports to El Salvador have been constant.
SENASA also assured that the exchange
of dairy products in the region is important
because it strengthens the livestock
sector. Therefore, Olancho dairy manufactures
have sent SENASA requests to install
processing plants.
