Economy

Alianza is a municipality in the department of Valle that depends on remittances, agriculture, and livestock. In Amapala there is practically no job opportunities and most live off fishing, while in Nacaome the economy is supported by the currencies left by the non-traditional export products. However, now the three coastal municipalities of the Department of Valle look towards a straight jump to development, as a report from Korea International Cooperation Agency nominates them to construct the first zone of employment and economic development (ZEDE) in Honduras. According to the Honduran government, if the project is completed, in these modest areas several megaprojects will be built that will provide around 100,000 jobs and a boost to the economy of the region. A journalistic team of Diario LA PRENSA moved to the areas that will make up the first Honduran model city to know the reality that exists in the three municipalities and to know how they have received the news of the possible project. Amapala, Alianza, and Nacaome are attractive to integrate a zede since they have exit to the Pacific Ocean through the Gulf of Fonseca, which gives a great economic potential that has not been used in the country. The study of KOICA details that in Amapala there will be a mega port, in Nacaome a center of research and development eminently agricultural and in Alliance a logistics or free area.
