The project to date has been quite useful, but could have been more useful had the objectives included the establishment of fiscal incentives and export finance, and the elimination of red tape.

Abstract
Some progress has been made in removing the obstacles faced by exporters, and considerable progress in creating conditions more favorable to export promotion. Chief among these is the establishment of a dynamic and highly respected export development office in the ministry of economy. It is important that aid assistance in specified functional and product areas continue. A firm commitment from the Government of Honduras (GOH) to dynamically increase exports is sorely needed. The GOH now has the capacity to help exporters and to utilize additional technical assistance. New efforts are underway to move the proposed export incentives and financing law forward. Honduras has a basic agrarian economy with extensive forest resources, so agricultural and forestry are the logical sources of raw materials for export products. AID assistance in 1976 should be offered in the areas of export systems, expert financing and incentives, export market research, and product selection in key industries such as food products, wool products, and textiles.
