## Description

The Pacific lowlands around Retalhuleu grow sugar, rubber and oil palm, but the local airport (RER/MGRT) plays little part in shipping them. With a long runway and a military heritage, it is used mostly for general aviation and state flights rather than commercial cargo. Agricultural exports leave by road to the Pacific port of Puerto Quetzal, while air shipments go through La Aurora (GUA). For freight forwarders, Retalhuleu is a standby field, not a working cargo gateway.
