Bajo Aguán Bajo Aguán (''Lower Aguán'') refers to the lower part of Honduras' Aguán River Valley, in the north-eastern Colón Department and Yoro Department; the entire valley covers 200,000 hectares.〔Jeffrey R. Jones, (Colonization and Environment: Land Settlement Projects in Central America ), The United Nations University Press, 1990〕 The area was at one time used by banana companies, but was abandoned in the 1930s, leading to the deterioration of infrastructure and a sharp decline in population - to 68,000 inhabitants in 1961.〔 Re-colonization after 1974 saw the population reach 181,000 by 1980.〔 The region is now again a major agricultural area, and in the early 1980s was producing "the majority of the nation's pineapple, grapefruit, and coconut, and nearly half its banana output".〔 By 2011 much of the farmland was given over to oil palm plantations, including 22,000 acres (around a fifth of Bajo Aguán's agricultural land) owned by Miguel Facussé Barjum's ''Corporación Dinant''.〔''The New York Times'', September 15, 2011 (In Honduras, Land Struggles Highlight Post-Coup Polarization )〕 A 1945 novel by Ramón Amaya Amador, ''Prisión verde'', concerns life on banana plantations in the area. ==References==
