Preqal Export-Ready™
HACCP and export certification for Guyanese agro-processors.
CARICOM buyers and international shelves gate on one thing, a food safety certificate they trust. Export-Ready is a fixed-scope programme that takes a small agro-processor from unregulated to export certified through three staged gates.
Gate one builds your foundation with prerequisite programmes and HACCP, the ground floor of food safety. Gate two installs a full ISO 22000 food safety management system in your daily operations. Gate three prepares you for a GFSI-recognised scheme such as FSSC 22000, BRCGS or SQF, the certificates international buyers require.
Every gate delivers a gap assessment, the documented system, staff training, an internal audit and a mock certification audit. The programme is productized rather than open-ended, which means it repeats across a whole cluster of producers. One certified processor becomes a delivery model for a nation of them.
Who this is for. Agro-processors, poultry operations and food manufacturers in Guyana and the Caribbean with export ambition.

Common questions
Do I need HACCP certification to export food from Guyana?
Yes in practice. HACCP is required by regulators in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union, and most CARICOM buyers ask for it as a minimum.
What is the difference between HACCP, ISO 22000 and GFSI?
HACCP is the foundation method for controlling food safety hazards. ISO 22000 wraps HACCP inside a full management system. GFSI-recognised schemes such as FSSC 22000, BRCGS and SQF sit on top and are the certificates large international buyers accept.
How does this fit the Made in Guyana certification from GNBS?
They complement each other. The GNBS mark tells buyers where your product comes from, while Export-Ready builds the food safety certification that lets the product cross borders.
