AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Sloth Conservation: Costa Rican groups helped shape a bipartisan U.S. bill to curb live sloth imports after 57–58 animals died at a planned Florida attraction. University Funding: Thousands marched in San José as lawmakers approved an ₡8.05 billion cut to public university funding, affecting the country’s research and higher-education institutions. Shark Trade: Costa Rica accounted for 82% of global silky shark product exports from 2020 to 2024. The fishery faces a CITES sustainability review, with possible export restrictions if protections fall short. Clean-Tech Production: Medical cannabis producer Hybrida Farms says its Cartago operation runs on Costa Rica’s grid, which was 98.6% renewable in 2025. AI Readiness: Costa Rica scored 56.0 in the latest Latin American AI Index, placing among the region’s adopters, just behind Colombia.
