With over 50 businesses in tow, the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) is heading to Agro Fest 2026, marking its fifth consecutive participation as it continues to strengthen Guyana’s role as a regional powerhouse.

Agro Fest 2026 is being held from February 27-March 01, 2026, at Queen’s Park in Bridgetown, Barbados. Leading Guyana’s delegation at Agro Fest 2026 is Dr Peter Ramsaroop, Chief Investment Officer of the Government of Guyana and Head of Go-Invest.

Dr Ramsaroop, during a press conference on Friday morning, elaborated on how this opportunity will allow for young entrepreneurs to expand not only their businesses but also the country’s regional presence.

This strategic initiative forms part of President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s Vision 2030 development agenda, which prioritises economic diversification, private sector expansion, and deeper regional trade integration across CARICOM.

Guyana’s participation at AgroFest has produced measurable commercial outcomes, he stated. Several businesses have transitioned from exhibitors to active suppliers within Barbadian supermarkets, hospitality chains, and distribution networks.

This year’s plan focuses on expanding non- oil exports, bolstering SME competitiveness, scaling value-added agriculture and manufacturing,
regional food security, and reducing trade barriers within CARICOM.

Guyana’s presence at AgroFest 2026 will include over 50 participating businesses, two 40-foot containers of Guyanese products, a coordinated national pavilion, structured B2B meetings with distributors, retailers, and hotel buyers, and engagement through the AgroFest Biz-Link platform to secure contracts and repeat orders
