Private sector head flags trade barriers

Private Sector Commission (PSC) Chairman, Komal Singh yesterday told the launch of the Agri-Investment Forum & Expo that while Guyana has made significant strides in the agriculture sector, stakeholders must never lose sight of the ongoing problem with trade barriers.

In order to achieve CARICOM’s vision of the 25% reduction of the food import bill  by 2025 Singh called for a holistic approach towards this issue so that local & regional markets will not be affected.

According to the PSC Chairman, trade restric-tions have created major limitations on the growth and development of regional and local markets.
