School of Agriculture programme aiming to further professionalise agro processing

Grace Parris

In its own modest way, the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) continues to make a noteworthy contribution to one of the most eye-catching developments in the country’s business sector in recent years, and that is, the aggressive emergence of a new and determined generation of entrepreneurial aspirants in the country’s agro- processing sector.

The role which the GSA is playing in the sector essentially amounts to a recognition that the sustainability of an agro-processing sector that has brought an impressive amount of raw talent and entrepreneurial flair to the fore, can only be sustained and grown if those virtues are buttressed by some measure of formal learning in the discipline.
