The strongest competition comes from outside, especially from French and Caribbean printers who capture part of the Guyanese market. These printing works are equipped with more efficient equipment, allowing them to significantly reduce their costs and ensure a more industrial production, despite the high shipping costs. So we want to be able to reduce import costs in order to compete. To meet its needs for raw materials and supplies that are not available locally in Guyana, the company must source from outside the territory. Thus, in order to maintain its competitiveness on the local and European markets, the GUYANA GRAPHIC COMPANY has applied for freight subsidies for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. The aim of this operation is to reduce the cost of freight for raw materials or products produced by the GUYAN GRAPHIC COMPANY dispatched to the European Union; waste shipped to the European Union for treatment.
