Guantanamo.- Now that the US government’s economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the Cuban people is intensifying, and new threats are becoming more frequent, food production is imperative because the nation depends largely on our own efforts, on what we are capable of contributing and growing as quickly as possible.
For these reasons, every day, in every corner of Guantánamo Province, in eastern Cuba, farmers, producers, and the people in general, responding to the call of the Party and the Government, are dedicated to the task of boosting the land’s yield by utilizing all available productive resources.
This objective is achieved by utilizing the resources available in each location, such as animal traction due to known fuel limitations, as well as other farming implements and inputs, while simultaneously implementing initiatives to replace imported fertilizers and pesticides.
In these busy times, priority is given to short-cycle crops, along with other tubers, vegetables, grains, meat, and milk. Much remains to be done, and it will be done; the following images illustrate a good portion of the work being done.
