After reaching the goal of producing 100,000 tons of sugar, and before the persistence of the rains, the workers of the sector are ready to resume the harvest as soon as the minimum humidity conditions allow the access of the cutting, load and transport equipment to the sugarcane fields.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- "Our decision is to continue harvest t until the country decides it and the behavior of the main indicators of agro-industrial efficiency thus justifies it," Julio García Pedraza, official of the Azcuba business group in the province, told 26Digital.
During the last three weeks, the rainfall has barely allowed cutting cane, reason why only the Antonio Guiteras sugar mill has been sporadically milling.
The workers of the "Majibacoa" and "Colombia" factories take advantage of this forced break to give maintenance to the agro-industrial equipment, so that it is fully available when operations can be restarted.
Pedraza García announced that given the difficult and complex situation created in the south of the province, it was taken the decision to finish the harvest at the Amancio Rodríguez sugar mill; which is already in liquidation process, although the agricultural sector will continue cutting cane for the "Colombia", a factory that was entrusted the mission of bagging a certain amount of sugar.
