Honduras
ASM Population: 3,000
Total: GEF-21 is current and the only available data → ~3,000
Min/max: As value for [gold produced / ASGM miners = 1800/3000=0.6 kg/miner per year ~ >20.000 USD/a] in GEF-21 is very high (approx 10 * GNI), possible maximum is assumed three times the estimated number of miners. → 3,000 - 9,000
Female participation: no data. Assuming default of 1,000?
Gold: All data are for ASGM.
