The Aranaputa Processors Friendly Society (APFS)  in the North Rupununi is now looking to international markets to sell their peanut butter, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.

DPI recently visited the  Aranaputa Valley peanut butter factory and spoke to the facility’s chairperson, Sonia Sears who  said that the group is currently working on re-branding.

DPI said that the APFS  supplied schools in Region Nine with peanut-butter and cassava biscuits daily but the region’s administration terminated that project.
