Strengthening Food Security in Guyana through Trade and Integration

It aims to improve trade facilitation and logistics at Guyana's borders with Brazil (Lethem-Bomfim crossing) and Suriname, through the development of conceptual border crossing designs and support for bilateral trade negotiations. The initiative comprises four components: a technical note for trade policy negotiations, policy dialogue and knowledge dissemination activities, conceptual designs for both border crossings, and overall technical coordination. The project contributes to reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers that constrain intraregional agri-food trade, in line with the CARICOM strategy to cut the regional food import bill by 25% by 2025.
