Standing crops of maize and beans have been lost across the country because of the floods caused by hurricanes Eta and Iota. Some crops rotted, some dried out, many crops- like these beans - sprouted on the their stems before they could be harvested, most of the staple crops have been lost in the north, centre and west of Honduras. Nutrients have been washed out of the soil too and a huge wave of fungal diseases like canker and leaf rust are just beginning. As well as food for local consumption and survival, cash crops like coffee and bananas are badly affected as well.
