His elevation is richly deserved and reflects favourably on his personal leadership qualities as well as Guyana’s growing influence in regional agriculture and food production.
On behalf of the Government and people of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, I offer my best wishes to Mr. Fernandes as he assumes the leadership of this important association. I am confident that his efforts and those of the CPA will be impactful and will contribute to greater food security within the Caribbean.
