Packaging and Labeling Volunteer- Guyana (15 days in March or April)
Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) is responsible for the coordination and facilitation of the development of quality non-traditional agricultural produce and products. The areas of labeling and packaging continue to be a challenge for GMC. The purpose of this F2F assignment is to build the capacity of GMC’s staff and its clients (Agro-processors, Exporters) in packaging and labeling for fresh produce and processed products so that ultimately they can improve product presentation and increase sales and profitability. Throughout the assignment, the volunteer is requested to conduct 4 workshops for agro-processors and exporters on topics such as biodegradable packaging and to offer recommendations for label design software and printing equipment.
Our program covers all volunteer costs including airfare, lodging, meals, insurance, and any other assignment-related expenses.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss the program or assignment in further detail.
