ABOUT Costa Rica

ABOUT COSTA RICA

Costa Rica is a rugged, rain forested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Costa Rica is part of the Central American isthmus and borders Nicaragua to the North, Panama to the South, the Atlantic Ocean to the East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West. The current population of Costa Rica in 2021 is 5,139,052. Capital of Costa Rica is San Jose with population of 1,799,000. Spanish in Costa Rica is spoken with a distinctive national accent and employs peculiar usages. The country`s wealth is better distributed among all social classes than elsewhere in Central America. By the 1990s and into the 21st century the country was again vying with Panama and Belize for Central America`s highest per capita Gross National Product (GNP). The government controls key utilities, including electricity, water, fixed-line telephone, and port and rail facilities, and the entire population is eligible for free medical care, but private enterprise is still strong and influential in policy making. Notwithstanding the country`s traditional dependence on agriculture, less than one-sixth of economically active Costa Ricans work in the agricultural sector, which contributes about one-tenth of GNP. Sugar and coffee, from the highlands; bananas, produced mainly in the Caribbean lowlands; and pineapples, grown in farms located throughout the country, are some of the most important crops, accounting for nearly half the total value of all exports.
