Guyana’s small-scale fishing sector is being urged to look beyond individual operations and harness the collective strength of cooperatives to improve bargaining power, access markets, strengthen livelihoods and contribute to national food security.
That is the focus of a regional learning exchange in Barbados, where representatives of Guyana’s fisheries cooperatives and fisherfolk organisations spent four days studying how their Caribbean counterparts organise, manage and develop their businesses.
The July 28–31 exchange was organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO), with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Guyana, and formed part of the FISH4ACP programme.
