Strong investments in Camagüey will favor readiness and quality of the bovine milk

The invigoration of the chain of value of the milk in Camagüey, starting from an opportune investment with international support, will propitiate to implant a model sustainable pilot of integration to closed cycle, from the milk until the commercialization.

This incorporates a strategy to the local conditions of climatic variability in the municipalities of Esmeralda and Jimaguayú, multimillionaires in the production of liters of milk, where near 30 percent of what is gathered suffers affectations for big transporting distances and deficit of cold.

The investment will propitiate, also, the benefit to Basic Units of Cooperative Production, (groupings productive workers) made responsible with the supply milkman; the construction of a minindustry in Esmeralda that also favors the feminine incorporation to the employment, and technological improvements to teams of transport.

Such proposals agree with the strategy of delivery of lands in gratuitous usufruct that at the moment is developed, and where more than 54 percent of the areas awarded in Camagüey are dedicated to the cattle raising, what been worth the supremacy of this county-that of bigger territorial extension of Cuba - in the production Cuban milkmaid, with more than a hundred million liters per year.

From the ends of the decade of 60 in last century, in Camagüey was fomented by the leader's of the Revolution idea, Fidel Castro Ruz the call “ Milkmaid Cuenc” that embraces an extensive territory from the municipality provincial head until that of Guáimaro, with a view to the cattle development starting from an intelligent combination of the science with the traditional peasant wisdom.

Such to proceed has facilitated to face imponderable of the blockade to the island that ballast the zeal of guaranteeing the milk to the population, much more in moments in that a ton of the powdered product in the international market overcomes the four thousand dollars. (Pedro Paneque Ruiz)
