OUR HISTORY
PALMASA (Palmeros del Aguan Sociedad Anónima) emerged between 2008 and 2009, driven by the shared vision of an initial group of 30 independent producers, backed by a supportive partner. Noticing the low returns for palm fruit sales in the country, these visionary farmers saw the need to create a company dedicated to palm oil extraction.
As the group of producers grew over time, their concern over low local prices led them to seek new growth opportunities. It was then that the possibility of exporting arose, particularly to the Republic of Guatemala, which offered fairer and more favorable prices. This venture marked the beginning of PALMASA, a now-recognized palm oil extraction company, initially headquartered in Sabá, Colón, and currently based in the community of Tepic, Bonito Oriental, Colón, Honduras, C.A.
Hoy en día, PALMASA cuenta con 235 socios hondureños que poseen alrededor de 6,900 hectáreas distribuidas en los municipios de Santa Rosa de Aguan, Limón, Bonito Oriental, Tocoa, Saba, Sonaguera y Trujillo. Cada socio contribuye según su aportación y son los principales proveedores de materia prima para la planta extractora, la cual tiene una capacidad instalada de 60 toneladas métricas por hora. Con mejoras en el cultivo, adquisiciones a productores locales y expansiones en áreas disponibles para siembra, PALMASA produce aceite crudo, aceite de almendra y harina de coquito.
