GUYANA is intensifying preparations to promote its agricultural products on the regional stage, with a major logistics partnership announced ahead of its participation in a leading Caribbean agribusiness showcase later this month.
The Government has confirmed that Blue Water Shipping will serve as the official logistics partner for Guyana’s delegation to AgroFest 2026, scheduled for February 27 to March 1 in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The collaboration forms part of a wider effort to strengthen Guyana’s agricultural exports and expand its commercial footprint across the Caribbean.
More than 50 Guyanese businesses, including farmers, agro-processors and manufacturers, are expected to participate in the exhibition, which is anticipated to draw regional buyers, investors and visitors. Officials say the event will provide an important platform for local producers to access new markets and promote value-added products.
Under the arrangement, Blue Water Shipping will manage the transportation and handling of Guyanese goods destined for the exhibition, ensuring timely delivery and coordination of cargo. The company, which has experience supporting large-scale operations, including Guyana’s oil and gas sector, is expected to play a key role in facilitating the country’s participation.
Chief Investment Officer and Agency Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, said Guyana’s involvement in AgroFest goes beyond promotional visibility, noting that the initiative is aimed at securing new export opportunities and strengthening regional trade links.
Officials also highlighted the logistics company’s established presence in Guyana, offering services ranging from customs brokerage and freight handling to warehousing, procurement and project logistics. Operating near the Port of Georgetown, the firm maintains a regional network designed to support complex cargo movements and commercial expansion.
Guyana’s participation in AgroFest 2026 forms part of broader national efforts to diversify the economy, boost agricultural production and position local businesses to compete more effectively within Caribbean markets.
