Camagüey for under in swinish production in so far in year to publish

The high level of sacrifice of pigs at the end of 2009 and the limitations to make the food for them caused in the county of Camagüey a fall in the meat production in the first trimester of this year of almost 300 tons.

In accordance with the program, in the period January-March of 2010 the swinish company should acquire and to distribute to several destinations a thousand 698 tons, according to the weight in foot, and the result was of thousand 400, that which was made feel in the drop witnesses in state agricultural markets.

Enrique González, director of the entity of the Ministry of the Agriculture, said that in December the purchase of animals to individual breeders came closer to the a thousand tons, the biggest registration since this alternative road of the swinish production was established.

The fact that enough pigs didn't exist with weight of more than 80 kilograms and the limitations in the feeding of the swinish mass for the food deficit, took at the present time to a reduction in the meat readiness, he pointed out.

For example, the delivery of the concentrate to the breeders that have agreement with the company only arrives to 76 percent of the presage.

We have not had enough matters cousins to manufacture the nutrient, and for the financial complexity of Cuba and the increase of the rates, are acquired in the world market the cereals when is possible, explained González.

The corn and the soya bean, two of the matters cousins in the production of the concentrate, their prices increased in the international sand, the first of 192 to 208 dollars the ton in Cuban port in connection with December of 2009, and the other one of 409 at 459.

In spite of the delay up to now in the meat production, the directive of the entity said that Camagüey can reach the seven thousand 190 tons foreseen for the 2010, in good measured by the local obtaining of foods for the swinish mass.

In the face of this reality, the rural Ricardo Linares who in 2009 in agreement with the swinish entity achieved 40 tons of pig, and in the current works to arrive at 100, he referred to the AIN the convenient thing for the economy of the country and his own, of basing the nutrition of the flock with foods gotten in the properties or industrial residuals.

The purpose is to replace the most possible thing the concentrated food to reduce imports that Cuba cannot make, besides reducing the production of pig meat, he added.( Lucilo Tejera Díaz)
