If all is favourable, he will be transferring the model utilized in India to Guyana. The company will work with the farmers (provide materials and technical assistance etc) and will only be involved in the processing aspect. Operations are driven by international market thus international standards, quality, and technology are all principles of the business daily procedures.
Mr. Amarasamy will be working closely with the technical staff of the Ministry to complete his feasibility study and present a more detailed proposal to the Government of Guyana for consideration. He is expected to visit Guyana again in September 2016.
