Little by little, but one can

Yes one can, hoist sights for the General of Army Raúl Castro, president of the Council of State and of Secretaries, rises beyond the simple message and becomes a way of acting for the Cubans; little by little, with difficulties and inadequacies, but advances.

Let us put for case the substitution of imports, titanic zeal if it is analyzed that the country acquired in the Socialist Field 85%. of its purchases in the exterior, and that still today, only in foods, pays every year more than l 500 million dollars.


In Camagüey, to the closing of 2009, l3l products coming from 28 companies was exported, while the chains of stores collected of foreign currencies sold 52% of its lines of national origin.

They don't mean such data that everything goes well, but it is undeniable that begins to be traveled a road, with short but firm steps, have more than enough objective bases.
The county contributes to the national balance of foods 25% of the milk, 27% of the head meat and 60% of the butter, while it is foreseen for the year in course to produce 40 000 tons of rice.

The price of the cereal rises to l 500 dollars the ton, for what a simple arithmetic operation offers a white devises of how much it is saved in foreign currencies, mainly if one keeps in mind that to Cuba he finds difficult commercial operations much more than to any other nation, for the difficulties that the blockade imposes, when having to look for more distant markets, condition unfavourable for the payment and shipment points in remote latitudes, except for governments friends that have demonstrated its support and trust.

It is certain that it is not reached to satisfy all the necessities and although there is a lot for before as regards saving, efficiency and productivity, in creating a more and more clear mentality of exporters and non importers, of producers instead of consumers, we grow in a modest, but sustained way, in spite of limitations, of the marabout that is still necessary to banish forever of the fertile lands, of the hurricanes and the droughts that place in the biggest road challenges.

We think and we act today in a more rational way and with the on view in difficult zeals, but reached; the daily chore demonstrates that little by little, but yes one can.
