The Bernarda del Toro Pelegrín tobacco factory base business unit (ueb), from the Granma municipality of Jiguaní, overcompliments with the exportable tobacco plan corresponding to the first quarter of the year.
The entity, belonging to the Granma tobacco collection, processing and rolling company, has the corporate purpose of manually rolling cigars for export, through the company Habanos SA.
At Bernarda del Toro Pelegrín, 36 assortments are developed and brands are manufactured (H.Upman, Romeo y Julieta, Partagás, Montecrito, José L. Piedra; Cohiba and Bolivar).
Lisbeth Katiuska Fajardo Rodríguez, director of the center, explained that in the first quarter of the year, Bernarda del Toro fulfilled its production plan at the end of the first quarter at 110 percent and sales at 103 percent, with optimal quality.
“It is worth noting that in terms of quality, the permissible result for Habanos SA is four percent rejection; However, our ueb has a range of 0.3 percent,” said Fajardo Rodríguez.
In this fulfillment, he specified, the importation by the business group of two photovoltaic solar panels (each valued at 1,300 USD) had a major impact, which today puts it in better conditions to face any energy eventuality and stop the main cause that affected non-compliance with the plan at the end of the year, achieving only 43 percent.
Fajardo Rodríguez reported that during this year, there has been stability in the assurance of raw materials, which will allow the production rate to be maintained and ratified the group’s commitment to making this a better year.
