Port Shut In Honduras After Quake
The port of Puerto Cortes, located outside the city of San Pedro Sula, was closed on Thursday after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Puerto Cortes is the Carribean port for 80% of Honduras’ products such as coffee, bananas, hardwood and coconuts. The port suffered damage to machinery and equipment.
Jose Angel Saavedra, a major producer and member of the IHCAFE coffee growers’ group, said there were no signs of damage to Honduran coffee farms.
