As he joined in the opening of DuraVilla Homes, the launch of a 1,000-plus modular homes project, President Irfaan Ali yesterday stated that the export of prefabricated homes has the potential to become a major foreign exchange earner for Guyana.

“The housing market is now positioning itself as an export industry. Housing exports can become a major foreign exchange earner for Guyana… enhancing Guyana’s reputation as a reliable and qualified supplier of prefabricated housing,” Ali underscored as he committed his government’s support to the expansion of the sector.

Ali, while addressing the gathering at the DuraVilla, Land of Canaan manufacturing site, said the housing market presents huge opportunities for economic spin off beyond the shores of Guyana.
