Majibacoa, Las Tunas.- Accompanied by the highest political and governmental authorities of the territory, the leader exchanged with workers, managers and cooperative associates that provide cane to the Majibacoa sugar mill, the one with the best results in the last campaigns and which will begin the milling on November 22.

Machado Ventura said that the contribution of the sugar agribusiness industry is nerve-to-be for the country's finances, in the midst of a scenario of intensification of the US trade siege against Cuba and when it is increasingly necessary to increase exports of goods and services.

"If we do not sow cane, we will have no harvest, no sugar," he stressed on several occasions to which he added the need to control each process and keep high the will of the workers engaged in the activity.

In this regard, Víctor Torres González, director of the "Majibacoa," told that they plan to manufacture more than 65,800 tons of sugar, with an industrial yield of 10 percent and guarantee the planting of some 200 hectares of sugarcane for the next season.

When exchanging with cooperative associates, Rubisnel Pérez González, president of the Majibacoa basic unit for agricultural production said that they sow their 700 hectares on dry farming conditions with optimal results, while promoting agricultural development.

In the Majibacoa sugar mill, the second secretary of the PCC Central Committee called to save the resources to the maximum, to be more efficient, to rise up before the deficiencies and to eliminate subjective obstacles that limit the highlight in sugar production.

Also in that municipality, Machado Ventura visited El Bleo pig breeding center, which reopened, after 23 years without function, with the task of increasing pork supplies and today has 1,500 breeding females and more than two thousand offspring, figures that will grow at the end of the investment that is still being implemented.

To guarantee animal feed in the area itself and achieve the unit self-sufficiency, the political leader recommended the planting of sweet potato, cassava and other crops that support the supply of feed.
