Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha recently met with a team of investors from the Barson Strategy Group to explore a range of investment opportunities within Guyana’s rapidly expanding economy. The engagement forms part of the Government’s ongoing efforts to attract strategic partnerships that can drive innovation, add value to local resources, and create new economic prospects across key sectors.
During the meeting, the investors expressed strong interest in exploring the potential of using sugar and its byproducts to produce protein, an emerging area with significant global demand. Discussions centered on how Guyana’s revitalized sugar industry can support value-added production, including the development of alternative protein sources for both domestic use and export markets.
Minister Mustapha welcomed the interest, noting that such initiatives align with the Government’s vision to diversify the sector, maximize returns from traditional industries, and position Guyana as a leader in agro-processing and sustainable food production.
