During a great part of the XX century, Banana and coffee were constituted as the principal products of exportation in countries of the Central American area, the first for the Honduran case and the second for the Costa Rican respectively. The crops, production and exportation of these products generated on such economies, spaces of power and social control that brought as a consequence the promotion of diverse historical scenarios to the economic, political, social and cultural levels in the region during that age. This generated and enforced the social imaginary, the belief that Honduras is still an eminent banana exporter and Costa Rica as a coffee exporter in the international markets. By doing a comparative analysis of these products we can observe certain tendencies that reveal that due to the political and environment joints during the period of study (1970-1976) a transition was produced in such economies and turned coffee into the most important product of exportation of Honduras and the banana in Costa Rica.
