Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha recently met with a group of investors from the Barson Strategy Group out of Washington DC, who are interested in utilising sugar and its byproducts to manufacture protein products.
The ministry noted that the discussions between the two sides centered on how Guyana’s sugar industry can support value-added production, including the development of alternative protein sources for both domestic use and export markets.
According to a statement from the ministry, Mustapha welcomed the interest, noting that such initiatives align with the government’s vision to diversify the sector, maximise returns from traditional industries, and position Guyana as a leader in agro-processing and sustainable food production.
The ministry noted that this engagement forms part of the government’s ongoing efforts to attract strategic partnerships that can drive innovation, add value to local resources, and create new economic prospects across key sectors.
