A unique opportunity to meet the growing demand for organic products

Share:

Guyana has large tracts of land free of agricultural chemicals, providing a unique opportunity to meet a growing demand for organic products in North America and Europe.  In most cases, organic products receive a premium price compared to their conventional counterparts.  Organic cocoa, pineapple, and heart of palm are already being grown for export.  Organic products could also find a welcome market within Guyana and throughout the Caribbean among hotels and restaurants that serve discriminating tourists.
