AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Biodiversity & Agriculture: Costa Rica researchers have confirmed a new endemic nocturnal tree frog—nicknamed the “coffee frog” or “spring frog”—found in San Lorenzo de Tarrazú, living among coffee shrubs and calling from the plantation at night; males have a translucent throat that inflates as they sing, and the frog eats small insects rather than coffee berries. Environmental Health: The discovery comes with a warning: pesticide use on coffee plantations may threaten the species, since chemicals can travel through air, seep into soil, and reach the waterways where tadpoles develop. Public Health: Costa Rica’s Ministry of Health confirmed 14 hepatitis A cases tied to an outbreak in Aserrí and San Juan de Dios de Desamparados, with active surveillance and an inspection of local water supply systems after lab testing of samples from affected networks. Tech & Skills: PROCOMER says it’s pushing specialized workforce training, including Talent Up scholarships tied to Google Cloud and AI, aimed at high-demand export and free trade zone industries. Mobility Tech: The MOPT is preparing “free flow” toll collection to reduce bottlenecks, using systems compatible with Costa Rica’s Marcahmo vehicle sticker rollout.
