It was always likely that a change in Guyana’s economic trajectory arising out of the country’s oil discoveries and the opportunities that were bound to derive therefrom would attract investors from across the world, not least from amongst the countries comprising the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
A full two years before May 2015, when news of ExxonMobil’s first oil discovery offshore Guyana was broken to a euphoric Guyanese nation, RAMPS had already set up shop in Guyana. While the company had previously given service to the oil and gas industry, its publicly advertised purpose for being in Guyana was to work with the country’s agricultural sector particularly in the area of providing support for efforts to expand farmers’ external markets.
