Region Five has become central to Guyana’s food security strategy with over 35 agro-processing facilities established since 2020. These hubs transform local crops into value-added products, reduce spoilage, and boost farmer incomes while creating jobs for women and youth. By promoting local processing, the region reduces import dependence, expands export potential, and builds food resilience. Combined with training and capacity-building, these initiatives empower communities, strengthen rural economies, and position Region Five as a model of sustainable agricultural innovation.
