New GMSA Head wants to take ‘UncappeD’ expo overseas

This, he believes, will help Guyanese-made products find new markets and ultimately, boost local production.

“… we want to get more of the UncappeD events out of Guyana,” Ali said.

Though the association has successfully participated in regional trade expos, such as the Barbados agrofest, it now wants to organise its own events abroad instead of “piggybacking”.

Already, the GMSA is eyeing trade expos in Antigua and Barbuda and the eastern seaboard of the United States of America (USA).

Aside from hosting UncappeD events abroad, Ali said the GMSA will continue to engage foreign private sectors under his leadership.

Already, the body has engaged a visiting private sector delegation from India and will participate in a major business roundtable discussion with the visiting Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Saturday.
