Cobán is the northern hub: coffee and cardamom (Alta Verapaz is the country's leading producer) as its export mainstays, plus regional trade and tourism; no industrial park is documented. The key contrast for site selection: the department contributes 3.7% of national GDP but its GDP per capita is among the five lowest - an abundant, cheap labor market with weak logistics infrastructure (no railway, far from the ports).

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
