Chief Investment Officer of the Guyana Office for Investment (G-Invest), Dr. Peter Ramsaroop is leading a team of 42 local businesses including farmers, agro-processors, furniture manufacturers, arts and crafts producers and jewellers, as the country participates in Agro Fest 2023 in Barbados.
The event started yesterday and ends tomorrow at Queens Park, Bridgetown.
G-Invest through its division, Export Guyana, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture and Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association, is facilitating Guyana’s participation at the event.
A release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said that two Guyanese businesses are also scheduled to sign agreements with key distribution companies in the sister country. The attendance of Guyana at Agro Fest was initiated in 2022 after the signing of the St. Barnabas Accord between Guyana and Barbados.
Last year, DPI said that President Irfaan Ali led a delegation of over 45 businesses to the mega event. He was accompanied by Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond and Dr Ramsaroop.
