Tegucigalpa, Jan 7 (efe-epa).- Honduras needs some 350,000 people to work temporarily helping bring in the 2020-2021 coffee harvest, which has been reduced by the Covid-19 pandemic and the effects of Hurricanes Eta and Iota, a source in the sector warned on Thursday.
Honduran Coffee Institute authorities are seeking at least 350,000 workers from Honduras and other countries like Guatemala and Nicaragua to collect coffee during the most productive period of the current harvest, the secretary of the National Coffee Council, Omar Funes, told EFE.
“At this time, we have the challenge of the pandemic and some zones affected by the hurricanes. There are producers … (who) need personnel. There are many big farms that are seeking (coffee) cutters,” he said.
Funes went on to say that “it’s not easy” for workers from El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua to enter the country, although it invited nationals and foreigners to join the coffee harvest with the aim of being able to bring in some 10 million quintals of the beans.
