With several local businesses seeking every opportunity to secure access to international markets, this week’s two-day International Trade Conference and Expo has provided yet another opportunity for a modest group of Guyanese businesses to explore the possibilities that exist in the Florida area.

Earlier this week, the Stabroek Business was notified by the Guyanese American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) that seven companies from Guyana as well as Guyanese-owned enterprises in the United States were among two hundred and forty exhibitors from more than fifty countries that were due to participate in the Florida International Trade Conference and Expo (FITCE) which opened at the Florida Convention Center on Wednesday.
