Perishable air cargo via La Aurora and COMBEX-IM's limits
- Running an agro-export operation
- Exporting agricultural produce
- not audited
COMBEX-IM is the cargo terminal at La Aurora: a private non-profit company run by the main business chambers, handling perishables, dry cargo and courier traffic. In 2017 it opened a climate-controlled area for export perishables, presented as the first of its kind in Central America (it removes mixed zones and maintains the cold chain). The physical constraint: it operates on the same footprint assigned some 30 years ago (~22,000 m²) and in 2020 estimated that it needed to grow by about 50% over 10 years (figures from El Economista, not re-verified because of a 403). Its perishables handling tariff is not public.
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.
