Honduras, CAFTA, and Agricultural Trade: Impacts and

Abstract

This work is the result of a brief literature review. It aims to make some connections between Honduras, CAFTA, and agricultural trade. Honduras is one of five Central American republics to sign the Central America Free Trade Agreement with the United States on May 2004. Free trade is said to promote commercial integration, economic growth, and social development, but it does so while producing winners and loser. In terms of agricultural trade in Honduras, the agreement has had particularly negative impacts to some farmers but generally positive outcomes to the agricultural sector.
