Las Tunas.- The sugar workers of Las Tunas eastern province, 690 kilometers to the east of Havana, work to conclude the foreseen repairs in December and to begin the next harvest in January, which will be carried out in 90 days, but with more efficient results than in previous crops.
Alberto Cantero, general director of the Sugar Managerial Group of Las Tunas, evaluated as satisfactory the preparations of the industries, the means of transportation, and the agricultural machinery that will participate in the harvest. He also eulogized the good spirit shown by most of those near 15, 000 workers.
In the coming harvest three sugar mills will be working: Amancio Rodriguez, located to the Southwest of this provincial capital; Majibacoa, |
Besides an important source of foods and foreign currencies, the sugar agroindustry continues offering big quantity and diversity of employments to the Cuban population.
Sugar mill Antonio Guiteras, the biggest sugar producer of Cuba, suffered serious damages by the hurricane Ike, but it is under repair to achieve better efficiency.

It is a large amount of money for the country that suffers the effects of the world economic crisis and the US blockade that hinder important purchase abroad.
Nationally known as El Coloso (The Colossus), in allegory to its condition of biggest supplier of sugar, the Antonio Guiteras was not able to fulfill its production plan in the last three harvests, but with the new repairs its workers expect to achieve better efficiency.
