  • Concerns

    Nicaragua is still recovering from Hurricane Felix, which devastated the country in 2007. Major concerns arising from Alma and future storms are centered around the agricultural industry of the country.

    Nicaragua produces beans, corn, wheat and rice. Recently they have attempted to increase production to stave off rising food costs.
