(Trinidad Guardian) The T&T Manufacturers Association (TTMA) will be hosting a trade mission to Guyana during the period October 3 to 7, 2023.
The delegation will be led by the TTMA’s president, Roger Roach.
In a statement, the TTMA said this year, the delegation will consist of 31 companies and 45 participants, including Eximbank and exporTT.
The sectors participating consist of food and beverage, chemical, construction, household products, agro-processing, cargo and services.
According to the TTMA, “This mission aims to strengthen ties with our Caricom neighbour and foster new relationships between T&T and Guyanese companies.
“Guyana remains a significant trading partner for T&T, ranking in the top five export destinations in the Caribbean. Main exports consist of mineral fuels, beverages, food and beverage items, chemical products and paper-related commodities just to name a few.”
The TTMA added that the trade mission is the second consecutive physical trade mission to Guyana for the organisation since COVID-19, with a virtual trade mission being held in 2021.
It added that Guyana will continue to be on the trade mission schedule for the TTMA, due to the opportunities presented for mutual trade.
TTMA added that it looks forward to a successful event as it continues to strengthen ties between the business communities of both countries.
