Cattle herders from Guantanamo
Guantánamo.- Some 886 hectares of land throughout the province of Guantánamo are being prepared for animal feed planting. This essential task involves the efforts of the Guantanamo cattle herders, who face the challenge of recovering the livestock population, which has been significantly damaged due to the intense drought of the last eleven months.

In this context, journalist Geovanis Ramírez interviewed Luis Mendoza Viñales, delegate of the Ministry of Agriculture in Guantánamo, who explained that these lands were prepared in advance in the hope that the rains in mid-October would create the perfect environment for planting.

This effort not only seeks to mitigate the impact of the drought but also to ensure the sustainability of the local livestock sector.

The recovery of livestock numbers is essential to ensuring food production and the region’s economy, in addition to implementing actions that allow catlle herders to face present and future climate challenges.
