Carlos Tosta is a rice producer from Jesús de Otoro, Intibucá, Honduras, who has been vocal about the challenges facing the rice agriculture sector, including climate change and lack of government support. He has highlighted the dramatic decline in rice cultivation in his region, where the area planted has decreased from 2,400 manzanas to an anticipated 400, contributing to the broader crisis affecting local farmers.
