UncappeD rendered in its fuller version as “Guyanese flavour: Uncapped” focuses on the outputs of Guyana’s agro-processing industry. Most of the products from agro-processing are food products, and the majority of these are delivered in bottles or tubs that are capped.
UncappeD speaks to the fact that when you use a Guyanese agro-based product you are unleashing a rush of flavor that’s distinctive to our place and people. UncappeD also speaks to the limitless potential for our products in every market with the right support and structures. By every market we mean the ‘local’ market, the Caribbean Market, the Global Market.
In July 2025, the Guyana Manufacturing & Services Association (GMSA) and the International Trade Centre (ITC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the European Union funded project “Strengthening Nutritious and Sustainable Value Chains in the Caribbean through Alliances”. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing food security, improving value chains, and fostering sustainable growth across the region’s agro- processing sectors.
The ITC provides integrated solutions to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) compete more effectively in global and regional markets. Implemented under the Alliances for Action (A4A) framework its work focuses on five core pillars namely: market-driven value chain upgrading; sustainable production and climate resilience; inclusive and equitable participation (gender/youth); digitalization and traceability; and finance and investment facilitation.Its work focuses on five key impact areas: strengthening MSME capacity to trade, building a supportive business ecosystem, improving the policy and regulatory environment, and enhancing access to business, trade, and market intelligence.
Through this MOU, GMSA and ITC will collaborate to boost value addition, market linkages, and the marketing of value-added products. Key activities include facilitating greater market access both domestically and regionally, e-commerce, and improving access to financing for expansion, innovation, and modernisation. A major undertaking under this collaboration is the relaunch of the UncappeD Marketplace website. This online platform supports over 30 agro -processing businesses, enabling them to sell and deliver their products anywhere in Guyana. The initiative marks an important step in empowering local producers to scale their operations and connect directly with consumers nationwide.
