Honduras' cumulative exports for the 2022-2023 season reached 2.880 million 60-kilo bags last month, slightly above the 2.809 million shipped in the same period of the 2021-2022 season. Honduras plans to export about 5.52 million 60-kilo bags during the 2022-2023 harvest, up from 4.70 million 60-kilo bags shipped from the previous harvest.
