AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Livestock & Biosecurity: Belize is training Corozal livestock producers and animal health staff to spot and report New World screwworm early, aiming to protect cattle and reduce outbreak risk. US Spillover Risk: Texas confirmed the first New World screwworm case in over six decades, with USDA quarantine and movement controls—an industry shock that could ripple into beef prices. Fuel Cost Politics: The PM pushed back hard on the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s renewed calls for more fuel tax relief, while BCCI continues pressing for temporary excise-duty cuts and tighter pass-through of global price drops. Coastal Development Controls: Government temporarily halted dredging in sensitive coastal areas after public outcry, with new planning talks involving multiple agencies and coastal communities. Aviation & Tourism Growth: BermudAir announced winter route expansions that include direct Belize service from Boston plus new Central America links, while Belize’s tourism leaders convene regionally during Caribbean Week in New York. Infrastructure Watch: Reports say IDB-approved designs are moving forward for a potential San Pedro International Airport, raising big questions about readiness and capacity. Labor Market Pressure: Immigration officials say Belize is facing shortages across manual and skilled roles, with businesses increasingly seeking work permits and visas. Clean Energy for Fisheries: Canada-funded STAR-Fish is scaling clean energy interventions for Caribbean fisheries, including Belize, with a focus on cold chain and low-carbon certification. Marine-to-Textile Innovation: Belize-based Bloom to Business is partnering to turn sargassum into sustainable textiles, linking marine science with local workforce development.
