After 2-year hiatus: Berbice Expo returns in October

After a two-year hiatus as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the dynamic Berbice Expo and Trade Fair is set to return in October 2022.

Organised by the Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce (CCCC), the event will feature a wide range of exhibitors across the manufacturing, services and retail industries.
The last Berbice Expo and Trade Fair was last held in 2019. That was the event’s 16th edition.
President of the Central Corentyne Chamber, Mohamad Raffik speaking with the media on Monday said the organisation is planning to have the event return this year, during the second week of October.
“Plans have already started,” he told the media.
“But we would like the information to get out there for all the businesses and companies that might be interested. We are hoping that with a break in two years many would like to see the Expo back.”
Meanwhile, Vice President of the Chamber, Imran Hamid is encouraging all stakeholders to make contact with the Chamber as early as possible.
“Because we expect this Expo to be a very huge one because people are looking forward to it,” he added.
The annual Expo places the spotlight on business entities across Guyana and also serves as a means of strengthening ties between Berbice businesses and those outside of the region.
It also highlights local products and creates opportunities not only for the major manufacturers but the small man as well.
According to the Chamber’s President, letters will be sent to all of the stakeholders outlining what Expo 2022 will be.
The event is also expected to contribute to the tourism sector of the county. (G4)
