Zulfikar Mustapha

The resumption of catfish exports from Guyana to the United States is on the list of top priorities for newly sworn-in Minis-ter of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha, who plans to engage US Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch to iron out longstanding regulations.

Mustapha, responding to questions on the three year-long cat fish ban, said, “I want to assure you that it is on the list of priorities for the ministry.”

He added, “I am hoping very shortly I can engage the US embassy and the US Ambassador for us to work out a system to move forward and have the ban lifted on the cat fish trade.”
