AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoBiodiversity Breakthrough: Costa Rican researchers have identified a new endemic nocturnal tree frog, nicknamed the “coffee frog,” found in coffee plantations near San Lorenzo de Tarrazú; males have a translucent throat that inflates as they call at night, and the species hunts small insects around coffee shrubs. Agrochemicals Risk: The team warns heavy pesticide use could threaten the frog’s habitat, since airborne chemicals can seep into soil and reach the aquatic areas where tadpoles develop. Workforce & AI Skills: PROCOMER says Costa Rica is pushing specialized training for high-demand industries, including a Talent Up push with 10,000 Google Cloud and AI scholarships and incentives for exporting and free-zone companies. Public Health Policy: Costa Rica’s long-delayed vape regulation deadline has been moved again, extending the current rules through 2027 while keeping flavor limits, nicotine caps, and labeling/lab requirements in place. Mobility Tech: The MOPT is preparing “free flow” toll collection to reduce bottlenecks, using RFID-compatible vehicle registration tech (Marcahmo) planned for 2027.
