Enlisting various livestock modules and fertile lands to sow and obtain proteins is a task that is well advanced in the Agroforestry Company of this province, in search of responding to the Self-Supply Program, with the start-up and maintenance of these premises.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- In the area of La Larga, in the capital municipality, the first enclaves of this type are organized by the entity, which in a gradual process aims to recover these sites in the eight municipalities of the territory.

Jorge Luis Padilla Carralero, Director of Development and Business of the Company, said that as part of a schedule, a survey of the lands and the optimal spaces for such purposes is carried out in all municipal units, all accompanied by an assessment that estimates how much can be done in relation to the production of food, grains, vegetables and fruits.

The manager assured that the construction of the modules in La Larga is developing in an accelerated way, where they recover warehouses for the raising of pigs, rustic chickens, rabbits, sheep, among other animals that will be used for the consumption of workers.

He explained that planting in the areas is still incipient, but the objective is to accelerate the process, such as in the municipality of Majibacoa, where crops are already being grown, increasing the breeding of birds, and rabbit reproduction is in progress.

Padilla Carralero maintained that these actions will contribute to the company's development program until 2030, so the task is checked frequently.

Today it is vital for the Cuban economy that these spaces recover and function since at one point this entity came to have about two thousand animals of the sheep-goat genus and another similar amount of pig, meats that were aimed at feeding the workers and also, on commemorative dates, foresters were stimulated with proteins of this type.

"The productions we make ourselves should never be abandoned because those are safer," said the director of Development. "Today, when the global context surprises every day with new adversities, it is necessary to guarantee, from the local, alternatives that are possible to face different situations and contribute to supplying the population in the communities that surround us," he stressed.
