This presentation consists of a critical analysis of agricultural development in Honduras. The effects of neoliberal policies in particular will be examined and an in depth examination of the current land conflict in the Aguán Valley will be used as an example. While there have been many criticisms of development practices in the country, recently in relation to oil palm plantations and World Bank lending, there have also been successes. Often these successes have resulted from militant action on the part of the rural poor. An analysis of agricultural development in Honduras will be presented and tentative conclusions regarding various development policies’ effects reached.
