Guyana partners with Blumberg Grain to boost regional food hub, exports
Officials at the signing ceremony
In a landmark move to accelerate Guyana’s regional leadership in food security and agri-business development, the Government of Guyana on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Blumberg Grain, a renowned US-based agricultural company, to market and brand the regional food hub currently under construction at Yarrowkabra, along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
The MoU signing was hosted at the Ministry of Agriculture’s main boardroom. It is a pivotal milestone in Guyana’s food security agenda, championed by President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali.
The agreement lays the foundation for integrating modern marketing strategies and branding mechanisms to expand Guyana’s agricultural exports, reduce post-harvest losses, and secure a stronger presence in the CARICOM and South American markets.
During the ceremony, Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha emphasised the transformational progress Guyana has made since 2020. He said Guyana is the only country in the world that can feed its citizens.
