AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Puerto Rico Business & Economy: A new University of Puerto Rico study finds local farmers can beat import prices in 30 of 74 products, with local prices averaging 32.9% lower than supermarkets and 51.8% lower than direct-to-consumer outlets—pointing to a path to boost food self-sufficiency. Local Industry Expansion: Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón announced Chemical Solutions’ $6.5M expansion in Yabucoa, aimed at higher-capacity production of specialized lubricants and expected to create 90 jobs. Energy & Grid Resilience: Puerto Rico’s fragile electric grid gets a battery boost, while separate research highlights how AI could help electric grids withstand cyberattacks, equipment failures, and extreme weather. Healthcare Deal: Universal Health Services completed its $835M acquisition of Talkspace, linking virtual therapy to its inpatient behavioral health network, including Puerto Rico. Consumer & Retail: La Comprita expands grocery delivery to eastern Puerto Rico (Fajardo/Luquillo), projecting a 25% volume increase and a 10% staffing bump. Food Supply & Trade Risks: A human-rights report says forced labor persists on Dominican sugarcane plantations tied to U.S. market access, renewing pressure for a U.S. import ban. Entertainment & Business: Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” home finale in San Juan (Aug. 22-23) drew massive virtual ticket demand, with sales restricted to Banco Popular cardholders.
