Several local products that are certified as “Made In Guyana” are poised to be featured at all Massy Stores across the Caribbean if negotiations between top officials of the Guyana government and the Trinidad-headquartered company go well.

The Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) says discussions are set to commence for the regional integration of the “Brand Guyana” Gondola in Massy Stores across the Caribbean. The agency says expansion will allow Guyanese products to reach new markets in Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Jamaica, and beyond, amplifying regional trade and creating greater economic opportunities for Guyana’s agro-processors and manufacturers.

“The overwhelming response to the Brand Guyana Gondola reflects the growing recognition of our products, not just here in Guyana, but across the Caribbean,” said Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, Chief Investment Officer of Guyana. “Through our strategic partnership with Massy Stores, we’re proud to support regional integration that promotes trade, strengthens our CARICOM ties, and showcases Guyanese excellence on a broader scale,” he was quoted as saying in a GO-Invest statement.

By expanding into Massy’s regional footprint, GO-Invest says “Brand Guyana” is set to become a household name across the Caribbean, showcasing Guyanese quality, innovation, and culture to a broader audience.

GO-Invest, in collaboration with the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) and the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) said the “Brand Guyana Gondola” was launched at Massy Mega, Turkeyen, on Saturday, September 20.

GO-Invest said the launch event attracted supporters, and local business owners who were eager to experience the richness and quality of certified “Made in Guyana” products. The gondola, now a permanent showcase at Massy Stores in Turkeyen and Providence, features a curated collection of locally manufactured goods from over 20 Guyanese businesses.

The gondola features a diverse range of high-quality, GNBS-certified products that celebrate Guyana’s culinary heritage, agricultural innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit, including:
