As Guyanese residing in the diaspora demonstrate an increasing interest in the country’s development prospects, arising out of its new found status as an oil-producing country, interest in the prospects for remigration and/or investment ‘back home’ appears to be growing.
At home, entrepreneurial ambitions that the country is ‘open for business’ has led to local interest in sectors that can create links with overseas markets and such benefits as may derive therefrom. In recent years, the Guyanese-American Chamber of Commerce (GACC), a Miami-based organization has been playing a role in creating linkages between emerging Guyanese businesses, predominantly in the agro-processing, craft and fashion industries by not only serving as a facilitator for their participation in the Annual Florida International Trade Expo but also by ensuring that Guyanese businesses participants in the event are adequately accommodated and strategically positioned to secure access to potential markets in parts of the USA.
