AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Water Infrastructure Boost: Japan handed APUA a second reverse osmosis unit at Ffryes Beach, adding about 333,000 imperial gallons of daily potable water capacity, with storage and distribution reliability now the next focus. Port Security Upgrade: With the main container scanner still out of service, Cabinet ordered portable scanners and firearm-detection dogs, plus tighter container checks and Coast Guard surveillance, after recent gun violence—though officials say there’s no proof firearms are entering via the seaport. Agriculture & Food Security: Antigua’s black pineapple production is set to be turbocharged after a tissue-culture boost, with plantlets arriving from OECS partners to speed recovery and output. Sargassum Management: Government approved a “From Sea to Soil” sargassum project aimed at stabilising and refining material locally first, while building longer-term lab and manufacturing capacity in Antigua and Barbuda. Regional Business & Tourism: CPSO hailed a major Royal Caribbean–Sandals Resorts partnership, a US$3B deal that could reshape Caribbean all-inclusive travel and investment. Shipping Safety: An Antigua and Barbuda-flagged bulk carrier, MV Cape Dao, was attacked off Oman’s Musandam; one seafarer died and 27 were evacuated, renewing calls for safer passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Labour Relations: The People’s Union warned that essential services rules are being used to block industrial action, saying it will challenge the practice.
