The Guyanese American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) says it has again secured free exhibitor display booths for small and medium-sized enterprises at the Florida International Trade & Cultural Expo and Conference (FITCE) which will be held this year from October 18-20 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
GACC said in a release that FITCE brings together over 100 businesses from some 60 countries each year to display products and discuss business issues including access to the United States market as well as linking with potential importers and exporters. In 2019, it said that Guyana had the single largest delegation of any participating country and several of these enterprises benefitted from advice on exporting to the US from agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“Once again the GACC has secured free registrations and booths for 20 exhibitors from Guyana and encourages small and medium sized enterprises in Guyana to register early. The Chamber will also seek to have discussions with the Government of Guyana to determine what assistance could be given to assist deserving small businesses to participate in this event,” Wesley Kirton, GACC President said.

The release said that Guyanese businesses have been participating in FITCE since 2017 and among the outcomes has been the acquisition of a licence by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) to establish a World Trade Center in Guyana.
The GACC is encouraging early registration by companies in Guyana so they can be matched with with companies with an interest in importing their products and produce, as well as identifying potential distributors for US products in Guyana.
