Camaguey Cooperetive converts marabou in coal and exports it to Europa Citrics Sola Company develops a mechanism for cleaning their fruit through the marabou cape work, but it extricates itself, makes charcoal and export it to Europe.

José Luis harshly weighs each bag of charcoal. Through his hands passed about six containers of this product so far this year.

The experience of coal production in the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production (UBPC) "Pedro Alejandro Padrón" reveals a way to export.

"The Marabou is a source of currency for our UBPC at the same time we have cleaned more than 4 horses ...", said Victor Naranjo, President of the Cooperative.

The Company Citrics Sola develops production alternatives like charcoal for a sustainable production process. So far this year approximately 100 hectares of fruit trees are free of marabou, which in turn is reversed in profit for the company.
