Honduras gets ready for cocoa bonanza

Honduran cocoa bean producers are forecasting an increase in exports and sales due to an increase in cocoa consumption in Asia, as well as a drop in production in Ghana and Ivory Coast.

Honduras produces some 1,400 tons a year worth $4 million, according to the Agriculture Ministry.

Cocoa prices have reached more than $3,000 per ton, their highest levels since 2011.
