In a significant development for Caribbean business integration, Guyanese agricultural leader Two Brothers Rice Milling Complex Inc has unveiled strategic plans to establish operations in Jamaica by 2026. The expansion will operate under the new entity name Two Ali Brothers Corporation Limited, marking a substantial step in regional economic cooperation.
CEO Javed Ali emphasized the dual-purpose mission driving this expansion, noting it will simultaneously strengthen community engagement and stimulate economic growth through employment opportunities and local partnerships. This announcement comes alongside immediate humanitarian action, as the company has already deployed substantial support to hurricane-affected Jamaican communities.
The corporation recently facilitated the distribution of over 20,000 kilograms of rice to areas devastated by Hurricane Melissa. This critical assistance reached vulnerable populations through coordinated efforts involving Taujul Imports, with groundwork managed by Jacqueline James and Zarie Ricketts. The initiative originated from Slingerz Entertainment—another enterprise under Ali’s leadership—demonstrating the interconnected nature of his business and philanthropic ventures.
Ali expressed profound admiration for Jamaican resilience, stating: ‘We are deeply moved by the strength shown by the Jamaican people following Hurricane Melissa. It is our honour to contribute to relief efforts and stand in solidarity during rebuilding.’
The relief operation saw collaboration with notable figures including dancehall artist Vybz Kartel through his Adidja Palmer Foundation, and musician Carlton ‘Spragga Benz’ Grant. Ali also acknowledged support from Jamaica’s Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Floyd Green, PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell, and various charitable organizations providing frontline assistance.
This humanitarian response reflects the company’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and regional cooperation. Beyond agriculture, the organization maintains strong cultural connections through Slingerz Entertainment and Slingerz Records, which have promoted Jamaican artists within Guyana’s music scene for over twenty years.
The Slingerz brand portfolio extends into sports with successful football and racing divisions, currently featuring three Jamaican athletes on Slingerz Football Club’s roster. Together, these interconnected enterprises continue to drive community development, regional unity, and sustainable impact across multiple sectors throughout the Caribbean.
