With a population of over 78 thousand people, Baracoa is a territory called to contribute to the economic and social growth of the province, based on its heritage, cultural and identity potential;
its natural beauty for the development of tourism, its extensive hydrographic network and forest reserves, and also being a producing territory of exportable items such as cocoa, coconut, coffee, elver, honey and charcoal.
In the review of the strategic lines of development, with directors of municipal organizations and their provincial counterparts, Rafael Pérez Fernández, First Secretary of the Communist Party in the province, insisted on “attending in a differentiated manner the tasks linked to food production, housing and the water supply, problems that greatly concern the population.”
In this regard, Governor Alis Azahares Torreblanca pointed out the need for the strategies to resemble those of the municipalities and for the actions planned in their development lines to promote true economic and social growth of the municipalities and the inhabitants´ quality of life.
Prior to the meeting, the Guantanamo Governor arrived at the new bridge built in the community of Rosa de Mata that responds to a historic proposal of the population and presided over the municipal ceremony to begin the cold campaign, vital to increase food production.

surroundings of this beautiful place, based on the endogenous resources of the territory and the articulation of the different economic actors.
