AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

USVI Cannabis Rollout: The Office of Cannabis Regulation says licensed cultivation in the Virgin Islands could start “within weeks,” with at least two dispensaries potentially ready before year-end 2026—though commercial sales hinge on a product-testing lab, expected “by October.” Food Safety & Local Supply Chains: A USVI-focused explainer warns that the mainland’s Cyclospora surge could hit island shoppers because most produce is imported through South Florida/East Coast logistics, making recall timing and port interception key. Jobs Pressure Signals: New reporting ties national labor weakness to USVI risk, pointing to a July jobs slowdown and revisions that could dampen travel and spending that island businesses rely on. DLCA Scam Alert: The Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs warns businesses not to pay anyone claiming to be a DLCA representative in the field—legitimate payments must go through official channels. BVI Competition Fight: BVI radio host Claude Skelton Cline accuses RiteWay and its parent of “cannibalising” the BVI market, arguing the lack of antitrust rules lets large players squeeze out smaller retailers. Tourism Disruption: White Bay in Jost van Dyke is seeing a Sargassum seaweed buildup that’s already creating navigation headaches and raising concerns for visitor-facing businesses. Local Governance Watch: Bishop John I. Cline is demanding answers over a US$2.5 million Delta Capital Partners investment in Jamaica, citing transparency and process questions amid ongoing investigations.
