AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Clean-Tech Manufacturing: Hybrida Farms says its Cartago medical-cannabis operation runs on Costa Rica’s grid, which was 98.6% renewable in 2025. The company made the country’s first medical-cannabis export to the EU in March. Marine Science: Costa Rica’s dominant role in silky shark exports faces scrutiny: the country accounted for 82% of global exports of silky shark products from 2020 to 2024, and CITES may call for new fishery protections or an export suspension. Technology Funding: A proposed budget overhaul would cut ₡3.65 billion from classroom technology, including laptops, robotics kits and internet access, amid a projected $882 million revenue shortfall. Coral Conservation: Researchers moved 2,700 corals to deeper waters to help them escape El Niño heat.
