Guyana will be seeking to gain a foothold in Barbados for the sale of Guyanese-crafted gold jewellery from May, Minister of Tourism Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond announced on Friday, while assuring craftsmen that government is committed to assisting the sector in finding new markets.
Speaking to a small group of jewellers who attended a meeting organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Walrond presented the opportunity to local jewellers and goldsmiths. “We want them to get better and make the industry more competitive and I presented to the jewellers and goldsmiths the opportunities government has been making and preparing for them,” she said afterward.
