AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Diesel Pressure on Transport: The Belize Bus Association warns operators may suspend nationwide service starting Monday, Aug. 24, citing unsustainable diesel costs after the diesel subsidy expired and no relief was implemented. Tourism Skills & Product Push: The Belize Tourism Board rolled out its online “Belize Specialist” training for travel advisors, with certification and launch-period incentives tied to familiarization trips. Electric Mobility in Public Transport: E-VOLUTION Ltd. launched an E-Taxi program, expanding beyond a pilot car to include a seven-seater van option based on taxi drivers’ feedback. Agriculture Support: Government handed over 9,150 bags of fertilizer (about $800K) to citrus growers in Pomona as the sector works to recover from citrus greening impacts. Electricity Costs: BEL says a new monthly Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA) will raise bills by up to 1.5 cents per kWh, with the PUC limiting the initial increase and reviewing monthly. Construction Capacity: ITVET hosted hands-on engineering training for builders and contractors, focused on safer, hurricane-ready construction practices and site management. Market Development in San Pedro: San Pedro Town Council is planning a multipurpose municipal complex to replace the old artisan market, adding produce/meat market space, artisan stalls, parking, and rentable event areas. Conservation for Fisheries: Belize secured a landmark Turneffe Atoll agreement to permanently protect about 17,000 acres and strengthen flats-fishing habitat protection. Weather Resilience Funding: Belize and Trinidad & Tobago are set to receive about US$27.1M for improved forecasting and early-warning systems via CDB and Green Climate Fund support.
