Adequate opportunities for the aggressive international marketing of Guyana’s agro-processing sector and the promotion of local agro-produce in major foreign markets are still to be created despite the wider efforts of government to promote the country abroad on the back of the emergence of the oil & gas industry, Guyanese award-winning entrepreneur, Sandra Craig, has told the Stabroek Business.
Speaking with this newspaper at the conclusion of a local product display held to coincide with last month’s international oil and gas conference hosted by the Government of Guyana, Craig said such efforts as have been made officially, over the years, to build the local agro-processing industry by strengthening those businesses that “have been trading for many years” have not been sufficient.
