As part of its pursuit of raising quality standards in the local agro processing sector, the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) has been both initiating and supporting sensitization and training for agro processors aimed at upgrading production standards and supporting the readying of products for the market. The GMC’s product enhancement initiatives take account of its awareness of the competitive pressures that face local producers arising out of rising customer expectations locally, regionally and internationally. Most recently, the GMC partnered with the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) to host a one-day training workshop for local pepper sauce producers. The goal of the workshop, the GMC said, was to equip the participants to further enhance the quality of the local brands of pepper sauce currently on the market in order to enhance local and international appeal.
