10 Barbadian companies exploring opportunities in Guyana

Feb 13, 2018 News

Ten new Barbadian manufacturers and services exporters are exploring trade and market opportunities in Guyana.
Those participating in this exploratory mission are all recent graduates of the Barbados Investment & Development Corporation (BIDC)’s Export Readiness Training Programme, an initiative designed to equip new and potential exporters with the knowledge, tools and strategies to successfully expand their businesses into new markets.
The companies, according to BIDC, are drawn from the food and beverage; information technology services (particularly for medical services); building and construction; garments and fashion; footwear; media publishing and health and wellness sectors.
The BIDC said it has been working with Go-Invest in Guyana on the strength of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two agencies, which speaks to the exploration of market opportunities, agency collaboration and exchange.
“Over the 5 years, 2013-2017 Guyana has received on average US$23 million in exports from Barbados every year, with exports growing by some 7% since 2013.
Guyana exports approximately US$13.7 million to Barbados, with export growth estimated at 44% over the corresponding five year period,” BIDC noted.
The group, which is accompanied by three BIDC Officers, came Sunday and is expected to leave tomorrow.
It is hoped that useful networks will be forged, excellent working relationships will be born and the foundation for new trade will be laid.
The Barbados Investment and Development Corporation (BIDC) is a statutory agency of the Barbados Government, with special responsibility for export development and promotion; the establishment and expansion of business enterprises.
“Its aim is to contribute to the diversification and growth of the Barbados economy through new investment, increased exports and employment creation by fostering the development of competitive manufacturing and related services companies.”
