AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Forced-Labor Tariff Pressure on Ecuador: At a U.S. Trade Representative hearing, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala and Ecuador pushed back against proposed 10%–12.5% forced-labor tariffs, arguing the rules would unfairly hit compliant exporters and citing a lack of proof that forced-labor goods are entering the U.S. via their supply chains. Ecuador Shrimp Value-Add Push: Ecuador reported record shrimp export momentum—165,538 metric tons in May (+9% y/y) and $847m (+8%), with China still the biggest buyer but the country actively diversifying product types and markets to add value. Banana Supply-Chain Upgrade: Tropic acquired Rahan Meristem, a banana propagation specialist with facilities across major growing regions including Ecuador, aiming to scale disease-resistant Cavendish production and reduce waste. Ecuador’s Gang Violence “Death Canal”: In Guayaquil, families increasingly search the Death Canal after bodies are recovered from the 45-kilometer waterway, highlighting how narco violence is reshaping local security and public safety. Trade Talks in Motion: Ecuador has begun trade talks with the Dominican Republic, signaling continued efforts to expand commercial links beyond traditional partners.
