Production with Alternative Energy (Wood-Fired Ovens)<\/p>\n
Given the impossibility of fully utilizing electric ovens, the use of traditional technology has been prioritized:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Infrastructure: The province has 83 bakeries with wood-fired ovens.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Recovery: Of that total, 22 ovens were inactive and have entered an urgent repair process to recover their production capacity.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Manual Transition: Without electricity for electric mixers, the kneading process will be done manually. To this end, workers from other areas have been reassigned to support the physical effort required by this method.<\/p>\n
Geographic Strategy<\/p>\n
Production complexity varies according to population density:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Rural Areas: The process is simpler because demand is lower and manual kneading is feasible for the required quantities.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Municipal Centers and Cities: In urban areas, the challenge is greater due to the high production volume. However, staff has already been reorganized to ensure bread is produced under these exceptional conditions.<\/p>\n
Distribution and Alternative Logistics<\/p>\n
The lack of diesel fuel has forced a change in the transportation method from bakeries to warehouses and points of sale:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Non-Motorized Means: Bicycle taxis, tricycles, and animal-drawn carts are being used.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Sanitary Safety: In conjunction with the Health Department, strict hygiene measures have been evaluated and established. By replacing vans with open vehicles (such as bicycle taxis or carts), protocols have been intensified to prevent product contamination and ensure that the bread arrives with the necessary quality and safety. Commitment and Organization<\/p>\n
\u2013 Product Quality: Despite the change in technology (from electric to wood-fired and from mechanical to manual), the stated objective is to maintain the quality of bread for the population.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Community Support: The role of the Guant\u00e1namo population in supporting these processes is acknowledged, and their trust is requested regarding the logistical reorganization necessary to address the current situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
