AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Food Security & Labour: Government is considering recruiting agricultural workers from Haiti to ease Antigua and Barbuda’s farm labour crunch as water projects expand. Energy Costs: Fuel prices at the pumps are set to rise after the government scales back an unsustainable fuel-price subsidy, with Finance weighing a smaller increase to limit the hit to consumers. Renewables Push: APUA is drafting a battery storage policy for rooftop solar users, while the utility also plans a major 55-megawatt renewable buildout that must be paired with storage and grid upgrades. Water & Local Production: Cabinet directed more acreage under cultivation and expanded food-production programmes, including a tissue culture lab for disease-free planting material. Dispute Resolution: Carib Resolve Dispute Resolution Centre officially launched in Antigua to help individuals and businesses settle conflicts outside traditional court battles. Legal/Policy Support for Industry: Antigua and Barbuda is preparing a White Paper and roadmap to formalise and grow creative industries, linking them to tourism for jobs and investment. Energy/Agri Safety: Antigua maintains its ban on pork imports from the Dominican Republic due to African Swine Fever risk. Energy/Climate Planning: IRENA is inviting renewable project proposals across Central America and the Caribbean, including Antigua and Barbuda.
