Victor Hugo Molina, manager of the Honduran Coffee Institute said that the businessmen will remain in the country until February 3rd , during which time they will tour various coffee cooperatives.
"Currently, Korea buys 237,000 quintals of coffee a year from Honduras, and ‘with this visit we believe that exports could increase, depending on the agreements reached with the producers’, said Molina.
The visit is the result of the approaches that Honduras has made with different employers around the world at trade fairs in Korea and Tokyo last year, at least 20 companies were involved, including Mitsubishi Coffee, another large company in its sector", reported Laprensa.hn.
