Diaz-Canel Visits Places of Economic Interest in Villa Clara

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel toured production centers in the municipality of Camajuaní on Friday, in the company of the Secretary of Organization of the Communist Party of Cuba, Roberto Morales.

The head of State began his tour at the Gámica Seed Farm, a Basic Business Unit attached to Urban Agriculture that closed 2023 with losses.

As reported by the Presidency of Cuba on its X account, the entity currently requested several hectares of land to produce food, especially rice for the municipality.

It is also waiting for a certification of the solar panels, which has prevented them from starting up the irrigation system for the crops.

Díaz-Canel urged the farm employees to work harder, and highlighted the importance of the land for food production.

The president also visited the Camajuaní organoponic farm, a place once characterized by great beauty and which today no longer boasts the same conditions, mainly due to problems with irrigation.

Another item on the president’s agenda was a tour of the Álamo Packing Plant, which belongs to the Villa Clara Meat Company. After a favorable 2023, they are currently stopped due to lack of raw materials.

To be more proactive and materialize productive chains, urged the leaders during a meeting with workers of the entity.
