SOME FACTS ON PANAMA
Background: Explored and settled by the Spanish in the 16th century, Panama broke with Spain in 1821 and joined a union of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela - named the Republic of Gran Colombia. When the latter dissolved in 1830, Panama remained part of Colombia. With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903 and promptly signed a treaty with the US allowing for the construction of a canal and US sovereignty over a strip of land on either side of the structure (the Panama Canal Zone). The Panama Canal was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers between 1904 and 1914. In 1977, an agreement was signed for the complete transfer of the Canal from the US to Panama by the end of the century. Certain portions of the Zone and increasing responsibility over the Canal were turned over in the subsequent decades. With US help, dictator Manuel NORIEGA was deposed in 1989. The entire Panama Canal, the area supporting the Canal, and remaining US military bases were transferred to Panama by the end of 1999. In October 2006, Panamanians approved an ambitious plan to expand the Canal. The project, which began in 2007 and could double the Canal's capacity, is expected to be completed in 2014-15.

  Economy    Panama Top of Page 
Economy - overview:  
Panama's dollarized economy rests primarily on a well-developed services sector that accounts for two-thirds of GDP. Services include operating the Panama Canal, banking, the Colon Free Zone, insurance, container ports, flagship registry, and tourism. Economic growth will be bolstered by the Panama Canal expansion project that began in 2007 and should be completed by 2014 at a cost of $5.3 billion (about 30% of current GDP). The expansion project will more than double the Canal's capacity, enabling it to accommodate ships that are now too large to transverse the transoceanic crossway and should help to reduce the high unemployment rate. The government has implemented tax reforms, as well as social security reforms, and backs regional trade agreements and development of tourism. Not a CAFTA signatory, Panama in December 2006 independently negotiated a free trade agreement with the US, which, when implemented, will help promote the country's economic growth.

An amazingly beautiful farm, measuring 125 hectareas or 312 acres.

The farm is located in Santa Clara, between the Costa Rican Border and Volcan, in the best coffee producing area of Panama. The coffee coming from this region wins many international prices every year. The property itself has outstanding features: it has 2 roads, being kept up by the world famous coffee farmers such as Cafe Duran and Cafe Eleta who are the neighbors. Very easy access from either Rio Sereno or Santa Clara. This amazing property has not 1 but 2 rivers, and even a small lake. There is also a town water connection, and three natural springs originate on the property. Electricity throughout. The property is currently in use as a cattle farm but the excellent soil makes it of course supremely suitable for coffee farming or any other crop. all that is needed for a working cattle farm is on the property, too. The climate is cool and fresh, located at 3600 feet above sea level. This property would also make an excellent mountain development for its near proximity to larger towns, and to Costa Rica. At a price of $2 per square meter a real moneymaker!!
