–Says company is committed to investing in Guyana

CHAIRMAN of Blumberg Grains, Philip Blumberg, during the signing of an agreement with Guyana, expressed unwavering support for President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s vision to bolster food security in the nation.
The Government of Guyana signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the US-based agricultural company, during which the chairman highlighted the company’s commitment and plans to invest extensively in Guyana’s agricultural landscape.
He noted that the first time he met President Ali, he was very focused on investment in Guyana, and hailed him as a great advocate for the country’s emergence as the most food-secure country in the world.

Blumberg went on to commend President Ali and Minister Mustafa for their clear and ambitious goals for Guyana, noting, “You have an excellent team here in Guyana, in the President’s vision, the minister’s implementation, and the Minister of Finance’s ability to help get things done.”
Against this backdrop, echoing President Ali’s regional ambitions, Blumberg announced significant future investments in processing facilities within Guyana. “We’re prepared to invest in processing Guyana’s agricultural products, ensuring higher value for farmers, and easier access to international markets,” he said.
Blumberg also disclosed plans to establish manufacturing plants specialising in advanced shade houses, aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity not only in Guyana but across the broader CARICOM region and South America.

“As our work grows, we wanted to designate Guyana as our hub, and that means our home in the Caribbean and northern South America. So, Guyana will be our home; we will designate it as a major hub. That means offices; that means employees, and that means not just food security but manufacturing and processing,” Blumberg affirmed.
