Even as progress in securing significant regional and extra-regional markets for locally manufactured agro- produce continues to move at a snail’s pace, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) has been enjoying a protracted run of ‘good form’ in its efforts to raise local awareness  of the range of products that have made their way onto the local market.

On Wednesday the GMSA staged a one-day workshop titled “Micro & Small Business Development” at the Regency Suites, Hadfield Street, Georgetown, covering a range of themes relevant to the development of the sector including what a release from the GMSA Secretariat said, was an anticipated “exposure to a variety of theoretical and practical underpinnings that guide entrepreneurship and small business development.” The GMSA said it was seeking through its training exercise to provide small business owners “with practical examples of small business management and entrepreneurship.”
