The Ministry of Business yesterday said that consultations were held with stakeholders in January this year on the importation of frozen chicken.
Its statement came amid concerns expressed in some quarters that the ministry had issued important licences to the possible detriment of local producers.
In the statement, the ministry said that following a number of misleading statements in the local media, the most recent contained in an editorial appearing in the Guyana Times edition of October 22nd 2016, the ministry was notifying the public that consultations were held with industry stakeholders prior to the issuing of any import licences to chicken importers for 2016.
