Georgetown : A three day Value-Added pork products workshop kicked off with enhanced focused being placed on expanding the industry to better add value to locally produced pork through the production of hams and other pork products.
The event which is spearheaded by the Ministry of Agriculture’s Rural Enterprise and Agriculture Development Project and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) brought together small swine producers to explore avenues to tap into value-added production.
Agriculture Minister Hon. Dr. Leslie Ramsammy in delivering remarks at the workshop charged the producers to take the challenge seriously as it can expand into one where Guyana will not need to import value added pork products but can rather supply adequate amount of port and pork products to meet its own demand.
