With agro-processing, over the past two decades, having gradually worked its way towards becoming one of the fastest-growing generators of employment in Guyana, the recent announcement that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is partnering with a US/Guyana initiative to advance the technology base of the agro-processing industry here ought to attract significant interest among local agro-processors.
Last week, USAID announced that it was teaming up with the Guyana Economic Development Trust (GEDT) a Guyanese-led initiative that supports innovation in science, technology and agriculture, to launch what is being described as an Economic Development Incubator and Accelerator (EDIA) for Guyanese agro-processors.
