The Honduran government is fostering economic growth by promoting the export of cooked shrimp, with 645 metric tons already exported to Sinaloa, Mexico in 2023. This initiative, involving over 409 farms, has created approximately 10,000 jobs. To stimulate investment in this high-cost sector, the government has introduced tax incentives, considering a shrimp processing plant costs an estimated US$110 million. Strict health measures are enforced to ensure product quality and safety, and the exports are facilitated by trade agreements between Honduras and Mexico.
