Guantanamo.- The goal of catching up on the accumulated delay in the annual sugarcane planting plan in Guantánamo is being bososted by sugarcane workers in the province of Guantánamo, with the support of various organizations that seek to optimize the use of residual soil moisture generated by the continuous rainfall in the region since late September.
Juan Carlos Martínez Azahares, director of the Guantánamo Sugar Company, told the newspaper Venceremos that all production base units are actively participating in this task. However, the work is intensified in the areas of Manuel Tames, where sugarcane availability is noticeably lower compared to the municipality of El Salvador. This discrepancy causes an imbalance in the execution of the sugar cane harvest.
The company had set a planting goal of 960 hectares for the year, a figure considered insufficient given the deterioration of the sugarcane soil and the need to reduce dependence of sugar cane supply from Santiago de Cuba.
