According to information from the Presidency in its X account, the tour began in areas of the usufructuary Roberto Domínguez, who cares for 33 hectares of land, dedicated primarily to the cultivation of sweet potatoes.
In the exchange with the producer, Díaz-Canel inquired about the workers’ salaries, which are around 500 pesos per day, while acknowledging the results that allow them to achieve profits.
By the end of 2023, more than 2,900 tons of sweet potatoes were harvested here, the Cuban Presidency indicated.
On his fifth visit of the year to the territory, the head of State also visited the provincial Meat Company, where the minced meat is made and distributed as part of the basic food basket to children in the regions of Mayabeque and the capital of the country.
The company recently began to implement productive linkages with other forms of management, which will allow them to better exploit installed capacities and diversify their offerings.
In a conversation with the local residents, the president discussed the objectives of these visits and called on them to continue looking for alternatives to move forward in solving the difficulties.
“The transformation cannot be only structural, it must also be social and spiritual,” he said.
In his previous visits to this province in 2024, the head of state was in: Güines, Madruga, San José and Santa Cruz del Norte
