Mission-led cooperative rooted in trust
GreenLeaf Agro Co-op was founded in 2009 by a cohort of coastal Guyanese farmers seeking stronger bargaining power, shared agronomy expertise, and equitable market access. Today, we collective-purchase inputs, operate shared post-harvest hubs, and co-invest in processing ventures that keep more value within rural communities.
Mission
Empower farmers through shared ownership and regenerative cash crop systems.
Vision
Guyana recognized as a premium supplier of ethical, traceable staple crops and value-added goods.
Values
Collective ownership, ecological stewardship, gender equity, and transparent governance.
Lead farmer council
Our council sets crop strategy, quality protocols, and youth mentorship programs.

Community Impact
Elevating livelihoods and food security
Each procurement contract directly funds family farms, school nutrition programs, and agro-processing innovations. We report on literacy trainings, climate-smart investments, and women-led agribusiness success stories.
Sharon's cassava village
A micro-mill financed by the co-op now processes 1.2 MT cassava daily, hiring eight women and supplying national school feeding programs.
Peanut allergen labs
Our partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture outfitted testing facilities that certify export-ready batches for Barbados and Trinidad.
Youth agropreneurs
38 young members completed regenerative soil workshops co-funded by FAO, leading to 15 hectares converted to cover cropping.
