GO-Invest to seek “Made in Guyana” goods entry into Caribbean stores

The Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) is paving the way for certified “Made in Guyana” goods to be marketed in Massy Caribbean stores in the future, as it revealed it is set to begin negotiations with the store for entry into regional markets.

According to a Sunday news release, Go-Invest announced that discussions are to begin for the regional integration of the “Brand Guyana gondola” in Massy Stores across the Caribbean. The expansion will allow Guyanese products to reach new markets in Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, St Lucia, St Vincent, Jamaica and beyond, amplifying regional trade and creating greater economic opportunities for Guyana’s agro-processors and manufacturers, it added.
“The overwhelming response to the Brand Guyana Gondola reflects the growing recognition of our products, not just here in Guyana, but across the Caribbean,” said Dr Peter Ramsaroop, Chief Investment Officer of Guyana.
“Through our strategic partnership with Massy Stores, we’re proud to support regional integration that promotes trade, strengthens our CARICOM ties and showcases Guyanese excellence on a broader scale.” The gondola features a diverse range of high-quality, Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS)-certified products that celebrate Guyana’s culinary heritage, agricultural innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.
Illustrating the diversity, the statement listed current ‘Made in Guyana’ brands such as, Dixie Punch De Creme – artisanal crème liqueurs inspired by Guyana’s rich traditions; Maliyah’s Kitchen – traditional sweets and baked goods like Salsev and Mithai; Basdeo Dynasty – pepper sauces, mango achar, spices, and seasonings; Centaur Holdings / Green Diamond Foods – cassava cassareep, cassava bread, teas, and flour mixes; East Gates Products – marinating sauces and fruit-infused condiments; Coconut Grove – Golden Crunch Coconut Biscuits made from fresh coconuts; Sandflour Products – cassava bread varieties and fruit wines; C&M Enterprise – cassareep and coconut oil-based personal care items; Chanzars Enterprises / Ceasars Logi – flours made from local provisions; Luke’s Manufacturing – cassava products and local fruit wines from Region 2; Marcia’s Products – traditional cassava bread, farine, and cassareep; Jofa’s Products – flavourful pepper jellies and stews; Mursia Preservable Products – seasonings and pepper-based condiments; Ashdel Enterprise – instant beef pepperpot, soups, and porridge mixes; B&R Products / Intrinsic Quality – achar, sauces, oils, and herbal blends; Genuine Products – fruit concentrates and pepper sauces from Region Six farms; KB Enterprise – green seasoning and pepper sauces; and Wardy’s Agro-Processing Establishment – nutritious flours from local crops. Go-Invest said that this milestone not only boosts visibility for Guyanese products but also strengthens consumer trust in the “Made in Guyana” certification.
By expanding into Massy’s regional footprint, Brand Guyana is set to become a household name across the Caribbean, showcasing Guyanese quality, innovation, and culture to a broader audience, it explained. The announcement follows the highly successful launch of the “Brand Guyana Gondola” at Massy Mega, Turkeyen, on Saturday, September 20, 2025. At the event, guests sampled traditional delicacies, innovative snacks, flavourful condiments and health-forward products, all rooted in local ingredients and produced with care to meet GNBS quality standards.
