First cocaine laboratory found in Honduras

(San Pedro Sula, Honduras) Security officials led by Minister Oscar
Alvarez found a clandestine laboratory allegedly used to process
cocaine in the mountains of El Merendón, located in the municipality
of Omoa north of Honduras. The area is accessible only with
four-wheel drive vehicles or on foot. The discovery was made after
several months of investigation. Honduran authorities have seized
more than two tons of cocaine from South America in the last three
weeks, and on March 4 in Tegucigalpa seized about 250,000 pills of
pseudoephedrine (to make meth), and Sunday a plane landed on a highway
in northern department of Yoro that allegedly brought cocaine;
however, the aircraft was burned before authorities arrived. In 2008
a laboratory was dismantled in Tegucigalpa to make
pseudoephedrine-based ecstasy, which was run by Honduran and Mexican
drug traffickers.

Predictions that sugar production will fall 13%

Sugar production in Guatemala, one of the world's largest exporters, would fall about 13% in the 2010/2011 cycle due to bad weather, said the producer group ASAZGUA. In the 2010/11 cycle, Guatemala will produce about two million tons, below the 2.3 million tons in the previous cycle, said Armando Boesche, manager of the Sugar Association of Guatemala (ASAZGUA). "Excessive rains caused the flowering of the
sugarcane ahead of schedule. Consequently, it will be a short harvest", said the manager. The country exported 1.6 million tons in the 2009/10 cycle. Guatemala exports about 70% of sugar produced, mainly to South Korea, Chile and the United States and is the fourth largest exporter of the sweetener, according to the Department of Agriculture (USDA, in English). Sugar is the second largest export product after coffee in Guatemala.
