Honduras

Rikolto has a long track record working in Honduras’ agricultural sector, dating back to the 1990s. In 2021, we reached 2,247 producers.

As of 2013, we started working with cocoa cooperatives and vegetable farmer cooperatives. Our coffee programme only started to take shape in 2017. As of 2017, Honduras was one of the first countries where we started up our Good Food for Cities programme. Currently, we run our Cocoa & coffee programme, and our Good Food for Cities programme in Comayagua, Tegucigalpa and around lake Yojoa.
