The also member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba indicated that it is necessary that each one of the 13 municipalities that make up the province of Villa Clara, achieve self-consumption of food, vegetables and animal protein, programs that are developed, but not with the necessary promptness.

One issue discussed was the theft and slaughter of cattle and the low rate of births and deaths from different causes.

In this sense, he called for compliance with the measures taken to protect the livestock population, as well as speed up agricultural development and, in particular, take care of the resources of each entity.

Regarding the next sugar harvest, it was found that, despite the difficult conditions and energy situation, actions are being taken to achieve it and, in particular, essential repairs are being undertaken in the factories, while working to improve roads, pipes and other routes.

In this harvest in Villa Clara, the Heriberto Duquesne, Quintín Banderas and Héctor Rodríguez mills will work and in the case of the Carlos Baliño mill, a strategy was established to produce derivatives such as molasses and organic sugar.

The difficulties in these vital spheres of Villa Clara’s economy are faced with ingenuity and creativity, and there is a commitment from the labor groups to take on the tasks to expand production of both branches, highlighted the governor of the province, Alberto López.
