With the precedent record of 20 184 planted hectares in the past calendar -the highest number of the country- the agricultural suppliers kicked off the soils preparation from the deforestation, plowing, furrow... of infected unproductive areas of marabou and heavy weeds, located in eight sugar units.

The engineer Lázaro Álvarez Padilla, director of the producers of cane, told that the sugar workers of the Panama plant in Vertientes, with 5 000 hectares of new promotions, head the priorities for next harvests, this sugar factory today inactive for raw material deficit, must start the grinding in 2015-2016 sugar harvest after a technological modernization in march.

Álvarez Padilla said that the AZCUBA strategy in Camagüey is to reduce the empty grounds of the sugar patrimony, principally the occupied ones by the thorny shrub, by means of the manual cut in marabou fields.
