Keen to accelerate the push to expand Guyana’s agro processing and craft sectors into the rest of the region and beyond, the organisers of the country’s UncappeD event is seeking to stage the next event of its kind in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member state of Antigua, Event Director Ramsay Ali told Stabroek Business in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
Planning for the first ever staging of the event outside Guyana, Ali told the Stabroek Business, will have to be preceded by exchanges between the authorities here in Georgetown and in St. John’s, the Antiguan capital, adding that the decision to seek to stage the next UncappeD event outside Guyana represents an attempt by the organisers to seek to provide an expanded external market for locally manufactured agro produce elsewhere in the region.
