AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Postal & Customs Modernization: Postmaster General Algernon Gomes says Belize’s shipping bottlenecks come from incomplete or late Electronic Advance Data, with wrong HS codes/values triggering manual inspections and 2–5 day delays; the fix: mandatory HS/value fields at acceptance, UPU Customs Declaration System training for counter clerks, and pre-arrival transmission upgrades. Court Victory for Sugar Farmers: The Court of Appeal upheld the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association’s Fairtrade premium claim, rejecting Tate & Lyle Sugars’ bid to block the case and keeping alive an estimated $9M (plus interest) dispute. Entrepreneurship & Export Readiness: Rev-Up Caribbean invites up to 30 Belizean entrepreneurs for its July cohort, backed by CDB funding, to become investor-ready and unlock angel investment deals. Coast Guard Training: Two Belize National Coast Guard officers earned PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification after completing the PADI Instructor Development Course. Tourism Skills & Service Standards: Belize Tourism Board’s Hospitality Sprint Series delivered AHLEI Guest Service Gold training in Punta Gorda with a 100% pass rate, with more sessions planned for Placencia and Orange Walk. Energy Resilience: BEL is preparing for possible El Niño-related drought, budgeting up to $4M monthly to protect electricity supply. Infrastructure Under Heavy Rains: MIDH is monitoring road, bridge, and drainage performance as Coastal Plain Highway flooding hits small sections near Mile 16 and Mile 22. Agriculture Compliance: DOE is engaging sugar industry associations on environmental clearance and sustainable practices under the BAC SUF project. Regional Data & Food Security: Belize’s Statistical Institute joins Centroestad work on Food Balance Sheets, aiming to strengthen agricultural production and trade-flow data using AI tools. Clean Energy for Fisheries: CRFM’s STAR-Fish project scales clean energy and low-carbon upgrades for fisheries and aquaculture, including cold storage and certification support. Local Industry Growth: Copalli Rum from Punta Gorda is named among the Top 100 Spirits to Stock by the London Spirits Competition.
