Guyana's, agriculture and agro-processing sector is poised for transformative growth, supported by strategic government initiatives aimed at enhancing regional food security and economic resilience. By integrating advanced technologies, the Government of Guyana is actively pursuing ambitious food-security objectives. Moreover, in a bold move to revitalize the Caribbean's agricultural landscape, Guyana is spearheading efforts to dismantle trade barriers.
This initiative is central to a broader Guyana-led plan designed to reduce CARICOM's substantial food import bill by 25% by the year 2025. These actions not only underscore Guyana's commitment to agricultural innovation but also highlight its leadership role in fostering a more self-sufficient and sustainable Caribbean community.
