AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Power Crisis: Western Cuba plunged into darkness again after a “partial collapse” of the grid left Havana and nearby provinces without electricity; UNE says power was being restored, but the outages are worsening as fuel shortages make backup generation harder. Food Supply Strain: A new analysis warns Cuba’s food crisis is now a “broken chain” from farm to household, with most families reporting access problems and rising prices. Economic Push: Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz told local lawmakers to boost food and coal production and use the latest economic reforms to solve municipal problems, including in areas like taxes, pricing, exports, tourism, and transport. U.S. Travel Rules: The U.S. made its visa bond program permanent for business and tourist visas, with deposits up to $20,000 for applicants from 50 countries including Cuba—money is refundable if conditions are met. Tourism Angle: With the grid and food system under strain, Cuba’s travel experience remains highly vulnerable, especially for visitors relying on stable power and services. Culture & Travel: Petro’s last official trip to Cuba included calls for a “dialogue between civilizations,” while a Fidel-themed circus festival in Ciego de Ávila adds another cultural stop for travelers.
