AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoVenezuela Earthquake Response: After twin quakes killed at least 1,700 people, residents in hard-hit towns like El Junquito say government aid is slow and uneven, with farmers and locals still supplying basics while tents remain in damaged areas.

Argentina Ag-Linked Growth: Argentina’s April economic activity rose 1.6% year-on-year, with agriculture, livestock, hunting and forestry helping drive the gain, even as manufacturing and trade lagged. Brazil Biofuel Supply Shift: In Mato Grosso, Girassol Agrícola is expanding eucalyptus plantings to feed booming biomass demand from corn ethanol plants, aiming to add 4,000 hectares over three years as grain margins tighten. Honduras Crop Damage Clarified: A study using camera traps in eastern Honduras found the endangered Baird’s tapir was not the main culprit behind cassava losses, helping reduce conflict between farmers and wildlife.
