José Molina Álvarez, assistant director of the establishment in Camagüey of the National Company of Conserves of Vegetables, pointed out that the plants Mambí, in this city, and Camalote, in the North-East of the territory, are working in this manufacture.

The pulp for compote is sent to other industries of the country in charge of this production, which avoids Cuba to realize imports to cover the one that is sold every month at subsidized prices to families with children, in addition to supply children hospitals and cuc shops.

But the facilities of the province do complete the making of sweet of jam for the supply mainly to institutions of health, gastronomic centers and working dining rooms.

Although the processing of the mango till now has had a good develop, Molina thought that it will not be possible to reach 2 900 tons hired with cooperative farms and the company Acopio, of the Ministry of the Agriculture.

Among them she mentioned 800 tons agreed with entities of the nearby province of Las Tunas, where from the contribution has been very little.

In April, when the collection kicked off, Camagüey harvesters predicted that the campaign possibly was spreading beyond the habitual thing over new sprouts and flowerings in the trees.

Normally this permanent cultivation has three flowerings, but for a few years another happens for the effects of the climate change, according to the farmers.

In addition to the surroundings of the city of Camagüey, the principal mango trees are in La Forestal, to the southern part of the province.
