Santiago de Cuba's top leadership calls for increasing Contramaestre's agricultural productions

The maximum attention of the Party and the government in the province of Santiago de Cuba pays special attention to the municipality of Contramaestre, because here are the main productive poles of the province, which decide the food balance of the provincial capital.

Comrade José Ramón Monteagudo Ruiz and Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, Secretary of the Party and governor of the province respectively, met with producers and directors of the local agricultural sector to call them to redouble their efforts to increase food volumes in the present stage.

Monteagudo Ruiz expressed the need to get more out of every inch of land to obtain enough food and achieve greater satisfaction of the population.

“It is necessary to demand more for optimal use of the land. We have delivered thousands of hectares of land, and it is required to achieve a greater impact on food production of those lands that we have delivered.”

He then insisted that lowering the prices of agricultural products involves sowing and producing more in the countryside, making cost sheets for each product. He emphasized on achieving a real battle against idle or poorly exploited lands, the extension of polyculture and intercropping.

“Here in this municipality there are magnificent experiences, which we have visited Sunday by Sunday, of intercropping, and this is something we must continue to promote.”

In the meeting with directors and producers of Contramaestre, the attention that must be given to the existing productive poles and the pertinence of opening others, leaving them planted this spring, was insisted on.

Monteagudo Ruiz indicated to extend the biological means and organic fertilizers, as well as the production of seeds.

“We must achieve a better discipline in group compliance, among them the agricultural productions, livestock, meat; all the lines are in the contracting.”

Once again Contramaestre’s farmers have the responsibility to respond to the demand of difficult times. Judging by the tradition and commitment of these men and women, this time they will not fail in their efforts to achieve the food sovereignty that the province and the nation need.
