AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Food Safety & Inspections: Antigua’s food service checks reported mixed results, including a store cooler failing cold-holding standards and a café with expired food, while some sites recorded zero violations. Fuel & Retail Disruption: Gas station operators’ profit-margin dispute sparked closures and long lines, but most stations later reopened after Prime Minister Gaston Browne said WIOC would prioritize supplies to keep key outlets running. Aviation & Connectivity: JetBlue will end its JFK–Antigua nonstop service later this year as it reallocates aircraft to expand Fort Lauderdale operations. Tourism Infrastructure: Antigua Cruise Port’s new upland shopping complex is progressing toward an end-October completion and a November opening, aiming to boost cruise spending and local business. Energy & Industry Policy: PM Browne proposed higher property taxes on idle farmland to push more acreage into production, while farmers point to water and input costs as bigger production barriers. Cybersecurity: Government launched a dedicated cyber incident response team to strengthen digital security across public systems. Hospitality Skills: Sandals Grande Antigua managers and supervisors completed a leadership programme with FIU, focused on stronger operational leadership and talent development. Cruise Port Business Transition: SJDC is set to take control of the cruise port upland facility after Global Ports’ lease ends, with plans for long-term city benefits. Whale Protection Push: A coalition launched a petition urging the government to reverse support for commercial whaling ahead of an international meeting.
