Guyanese delegation in Barbados for Agro Fest 2024

A Guyanese delegation is currently participating in Agro Fest 2024, organised by the Barbados Agriculture Society and hosted at the Queen’s Park in Bridgetown, Barbados from Friday to Sunday. Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, Dr Peter Ramsaroop, is leading the Guyanese delegation, which consists of more than 45 Private Sector companies along with the Guyana Marketing Corporation.
In a social media post on Friday, Go-Invest said it has forged close collaboration with agencies and ministries, including the Agriculture and Tourism ministries, Guyana Tourism Authority, Small Business Bureau, Private Sector Commission, Guyana Marketing Corporation, Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association, and the Guyana National Bureau of Standards, to make this event a success.
“Through strategic partnerships and initiatives, the Guyana Office for Investment aims to attract investment, foster economic growth, and promote Guyana as a prime destination for trade and commerce,” the post read.

Agro Fest 2024 is an initiative that is in line with President Dr Irfaan Ali’s vision of reducing Caricom’s food import bill. It also complements other initiatives of this nature in the Caribbean region, such as the Agri Investment Forum and Expo.
