Local agro processors and other small and medium-sized businesses in the creative sectors are awaiting word on government’s response to the request for the state to help finance the participation of a local contingent in the Florida International Trade & Cultural Expo and Conference (FITCE) in October. Communication was dispatched last week to Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond by Guyanese-American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) President Wesley Kirton seeking audience with her to discuss whether the Government of Guyana would be prepared to help small entrepreneurs to participate in this event. Some of the local hopefuls continue to keep their fingers crossed that it would bear fruit.
