Fuel Relief at the Pump: Dominica is set to cushion surging oil costs with a $1.50–$2.00 per gallon subsidy by cutting fuel taxes, expected to kick in by the end of May as the next price review cycle lands; the move follows global crude jumping more than 30% and diesel rising sharply since February, with the government saying it will cost over half a million dollars monthly. Agro-Processing Push: The government has engaged Trinidad-based Leve Global to map and build a sustainability plan and strategic framework for an agro-processing facility—aimed at turning more local produce into shelf-ready products, with root crops like dasheen and cassava at the centre. OECS Root Crops Focus: OECS Director General Dr Didacus Jules called last week’s Root Crop symposium in Dominica “timely,” stressing root crops’ role in food security and nutrition. Eye Care in Dominica: VOSH Eye Care’s 31st mission begins services in Portsmouth, targeting over 1,000 patients over four days. Regional Health Support: CARICOM and Spain signed a €400,000 cooperation agreement to strengthen coordinated health action across the Caribbean.
