Massy Dis­tri­b­u­tion Trinidad has an­nounced a strate­gic part­ner­ship with Uma­mi In­cor­po­rat­ed of Guyana to dis­trib­ute its pre­mi­um range of “Made in Guyana” sauces and condi­ments across T&T.

In a news re­lease yes­ter­day, Massy said, “Through Massy’s ex­ten­sive re­tail, gro­cery and food ser­vice net­work, Uma­mi prod­ucts will soon be avail­able on su­per­mar­ket shelves and in hos­pi­tal­i­ty out­lets is­land­wide. The agree­ment strength­ens re­gion­al trade ties and ex­pands con­sumer ac­cess to high-qual­i­ty Guyanese agro-processed prod­ucts. It al­so re­flects grow­ing de­mand across Cari­com for au­then­tic, val­ue-added food prod­ucts pro­duced in the re­gion.”

Ex­ec­u­tive vice pres­i­dent of Massy’s In­te­grat­ed Re­tail Port­fo­lio, Am­bikah Mon­groo, said, “Massy Dis­tri­b­u­tion is proud to in­tro­duce Uma­mi’s dis­tinc­tive flavours to the T&T mar­ket. Our dis­tri­b­u­tion, reach and re­la­tion­ships with re­tail­ers and the food ser­vice sec­tor make us the ide­al part­ner to bring this au­then­tic Guyanese brand to con­sumers across the coun­try.”

Di­rec­tor of Uma­mi, Chris Per­saud, added: “Part­ner­ing with Massy Dis­tri­b­u­tion al­lows Uma­mi to en­ter one of the Caribbean’s most dy­nam­ic food mar­kets with a trust­ed re­gion­al leader. We look for­ward to shar­ing our prod­ucts and cel­e­brat­ing Guyanese culi­nary her­itage with T&T con­sumers.”

The re­lease ex­plained Uma­mi has built a strong rep­u­ta­tion in Guyana and abroad for pro­duc­ing sauces and condi­ments us­ing care­ful­ly se­lect­ed lo­cal in­gre­di­ents and mod­ern man­u­fac­tur­ing stan­dards. Massy said the launch marked an im­por­tant mile­stone in the com­pa­ny’s re­gion­al ex­pan­sion and aligns with ef­forts across Cari­com to pro­mote in­trare­gion­al trade and val­ue-added man­u­fac­tur­ing.
