One of The Top Players Guatemala and the Central American Region have a long time tradition in agriculture. According to data from United Nations FAO and our statistics, in many cases, our region as a whole is either the world leader or a top player in the production, exports, and quality of specific products. Just imagine that a region about the size of California is one of the largest and more respected world producers of many agricultural products such as Snow Peas, Pineapple, Mangoes, Cardamom, Coffee, Sugar Cane, Bananas, Cantaloupes Melons, Papayas, Nuts, Sesame Seed, Limes, Ornamental plants, Cut Flowers, foliages and others.
