Guantanamo.- Caimanera, in the current planting season, is prioritizing rice and other short-cycle crops, as announced by Yonney Carmenate Gil, vice president of the Miguel Antonio Caballero Rodríguez Credit and Services Cooperative (CCS).
Carmenate Gil emphasized that the one of the Food Program’s objectives is aimed at each member to produce on their own land to ensure food supply.
Currently, some farmers are venturing into sheep and goat farming. For pig farming, the CCS’s producers should have a separate contract with a swine company, which is currently in process.
“Produce more, create production chains. These are different times, and the people expect more from us,” the cooperative’s vice president stressed.
