AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Tourism & Jobs: El Salvador surged past its 2026 tourism pace, hitting 2.1M international visitors in Jan–May—50% of its 4.2M annual target—driving 57,000 formal jobs and over 10% of GDP, and outpacing Guatemala and Costa Rica in regional arrivals. Livestock & Biosecurity: The U.S. confirmed new New World screwworm cases in Texas and New Mexico, while Mexico closed its border to U.S. cattle imports; cattle groups say the spread wasn’t a surprise and are already planning for impacts. Ag Exports & Geopolitics: South Indian plantation exports showed uneven results amid West Asian turmoil: tea shipments fell 18.9% overall (with sharper drops to Iraq and the UAE), while cardamom grew. Food Safety: A U.S. FDA Cyclospora outbreak investigation is active as cases rise; the parasite can cause weeks of severe diarrhea, with common summer produce flagged. Urban Cooling: Vertical gardens are spreading across Latin America, including Guatemala City, as a practical heat-mitigation and air-quality tool. Aviation & Connectivity: BermudAir added seasonal Boston routes to Anguilla, Turks and Caicos, Belize, and Guatemala City, expanding regional travel links. Security & Trade Risks: Analysis highlights how organized crime in Latin America is reorganizing under security pressure, including deeper transnational ties involving Guatemala.
