AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Electricity Licensing Talks: Energy Minister Daryl Vaz says negotiations are deepening for a new all-island electricity licence after Hurricane Beryl, with a July 2027 expiry date and updates expected this month. Agriculture Recovery Funding: Opposition agriculture spokesman Dr Dayton Campbell is pushing for a permanent Agricultural and Fisheries Disaster Recovery Fund, arguing farmers and fisherfolk need fast, standing support rather than rushed post-disaster submissions. Coffee Jobs at Risk: Dr Norman Grant of the Jamaica Coffee Exporters Association warns coffee output could hit a 35-year low and calls again for $350 million annually under the Crop Restoration and Expansion Programme to prevent massive job losses. Fisheries and Seafood Compliance: A California seafood case highlights how seafood sourcing claims can unravel—Dudley Market and operators face penalties after alleged illegal fishing and improper documentation. Clean Energy for Fisheries: The STAR-Fish project is ramping up clean energy interventions across Caribbean fisheries, including cold-chain upgrades and low-carbon certification support, with Jamaica among participating countries. Tourism Rebuild Momentum: Sandals is accelerating a $200m “Sandals 2.0” rebuild of Melissa-damaged resorts, with reopening dates now set for November and December. Local Investment in Fuel Retail: Vibrant Energy plans a $1b FESCO-branded service station development in St. James, targeting jobs and new retail services within 16 months.
