The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) on Tuesday announced that it was officially awarded the “Made in Guyana” Standards Mark by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS).
According to the GuySuCo press release, the certification was presented Tuesday during a simple handover ceremony at GuySuCo’s LBI Head Office, where Chief Executive Officer Mr Paul Cheong accepted the award on behalf of the Corporation.

The certification will now appear on GuySuCo’s flagship Demerara Gold sugar products, confirming their authenticity as premium, locally produced goods that meet rigorous national quality standards.
“This is a proud moment for GuySuCo. The ‘Made in Guyana’ mark validates our commitment to quality, origin, and value-added production,” said Mr Cheong. “As we shift from bulk sugar to packaged consumer-ready products, this certification strengthens our position in export markets, particularly where Guyanese-branded sugar is in demand but often misrepresented.”
The certification supports GuySuCo’s strategic focus on market expansion, value creation, and industry modernisation. It also reinforces the Corporation’s contribution to food security, rural development, and Guyana’s economic growth, the release noted.
GuySuCo remains committed to excellence, sustainability, and building a globally respected sugar brand, proudly rooted in Guyana, it added.
