Guyana pursues major agricultural partnerships to scale production and investment

April 13, 2026•1 min read

Guyana is advancing discussions with Brazilian investors to unlock large-scale agricultural projects, as the government accelerates efforts to expand production, strengthen food security, and position agriculture as a key growth pillar. Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha confirmed Guyana’s readiness to facilitate investment and connect investors with local landholders to support joint ventures. This push aligns with wider sector investments, including the revitalisation of the sugar industry. President Dr. Irfaan Ali recently reaffirmed its importance to rural livelihoods, with $13.4 billion allocated in 2026 to support mechanisation, factory upgrades, and value-added production. For Surinamese companies, this signals clear opportunities for cross-border collaboration in agro-processing, input supply, logistics, and technology. As Guyana scales its agricultural output, partnerships within the Suriname-Guyana corridor will be critical to building an integrated, competitive regional agri-value chain.
