Plans are proceeding for the imminent staging of a high-profile Webinar designed to bring stakeholders in the agriculture and agro processing sectors together to attempt to chart the way forward against Covid-19-related challenges currently facing the two sectors, President of the Guyana Manufacturing & Services Association (GMSA) Shyam Nokta has told the Stabroek Business.
With the conventional face-to-face communication now hamstrung by the protocols that have been compulsorily adopted in an effort to stave off the further spread of the virus, Nokta told Stabroek Business that while a mindfulness of the threat that Covid-19 presents needs to persist, there can be no question “of sitting and folding our hands” in the face of the problem. He said that agencies like the GMSA had to continue to press forward and that in the instance of the forthcoming Webinar it was a question of bringing stakeholders together to take a look at agriculture and agro processing and determining how we can bring improvements to those areas. The Webinar is expected to be staged within the next month.
