CELEBRATING the achievements of women is crucial, and one way to further empower them is through agro-processing. Under the guidance of the Hon Zulfikar Mustapha, women have found opportunities in the agricultural sector, particularly in agro-processing, where they can add value to raw agricultural products and make them more marketable.

By encouraging women to not only sell raw produce but also to diversify into creating by-products, packaging, and selling to consumers, we are fostering a more sustainable agricultural system. The support from the Guyana Marketing Corporation, a key agricultural agency, further enhances the capabilities of women in this sector.

It is essential to continue promoting the involvement of women in agriculture, and with the backing of the Ministry of Agriculture, there is a promising future for females eager to make their mark in agro-processing.

Let us strive for more women to take the lead in this sector, driving innovation and growth in agricultural practices.

Yours sincerely,
Fawaz A Harry
