Guatemala also exports dehydrated lime, also a part of the exportable supply. Its main destinations are the United States and the Middle East. Several exporting companies and producing farms in Guatemala are committed to good agricultural and manufacturing practices. This allows them to be certified with Global G.A.P., SMETA and GRASP, among others, and thus be able to supply the European Union, European and Central American markets.
