Yet another initiative would appear to be underway to secure Guyana’s much sought-after increased market in the United States for the country’s agricultural and agro-produced goods through an information-sharing arrangement involving Guyanese public and private sector officials on the one hand, and US functionaries suitably positioned to aid the process, on the other.
Yesterday’s scheduled virtual forum, organized by the Guyanese/American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) was expected, the organisers told the Stabroek Business, to examine “Strategies for Exporting to the US market,” an initiative that is not without precedent though the desired outcomes have not, up until now been realised.
A brief on yesterday’s forum seen by the Stabroek Business indicated that the agenda for yesterday’s forum would focus on, among other things, exploring, not for the first time, the procedural and phyto-sanitary measures that must be met by Guyanese exporters seeking to find US markets for agro-produce and processed/value-added commodities including fresh fruit and vegetables.
