AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoFood System Shock: UK Treasury pressure to cap supermarket price rises is drawing outrage, but the bigger issue is structural: food prices are set to stay volatile after Iran-linked shipping and a forecast record El Niño that will batter global harvests, with fertiliser supply still tightly tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Canal Pressure, Again: That same Hormuz disruption is already pushing Panama Canal transits higher, forcing operators to manage near-capacity conditions while planning for climate swings. Leadership at the Canal: Panama named engineer Ilya Espino de Marotta as the first woman to administer the Canal, with the selection process drawing on a large candidate pool and a business-case evaluation. Marine Conservation: Panama also signed a shark-and-ray protection MoU with the Charles Darwin Foundation, targeting hammerhead sharks through research, stronger rules, and community support for fishers. Security & Training: The U.S. Army is running jungle-focused training in Panama aimed at interoperability in terrain similar to Cuba.
