Honduras imports have declined from $10.39 billion in 2008 to $7.57 billion in 2009. The major items imported by Honduras are machinery and transport equipment, industrial raw materials, chemical products, fuels and foodstuff.
The increase in the countryâs current account deficit for 2008 is attributable to a sharp increase in global oil prices. The United States, Hondurasâ largest trading partner, accounts for over 60% of its exports and nearly 50% of imports. The association between the two countries strengthened after the ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement or CAFTA in 2005. The agreement has led to increased foreign investment in Honduras and a sharp growth in the countryâs textile and apparel products industry.
