The Chamber president said that the Chamber will try to use the opportunity to help return Berbice to what it was before. The activity this year is being held in collaboration with the Government of Guyana through the Ministries of Business.
The expo is being held to give producers in Berbice and Berbice-based businesses the opportunity to help showcase themselves. It also helps the businesses to get the opportunity to create links and partners with other business outside of the region.
According to Bhigroog , there are hardly any spaces left. Some 120 exhibitors have already booked for the show piece event and many more are coming on board. Apart from the regular bevy of Guyanese companies that are expected to be in attendance displaying products of all sorts, some new ones are expected on board while others are returning.
Most of the companies plan to have big giveaways at the event.
