The Cuban food-processing industry is undergoing a phased recovery, which prioritizes the dairy and meat industries, given the financial, material and human impossibility of making progress in all sectors.
According to Maria del Carmen, the restitution of capacities in the meat and dairy industries contemplates the improvement for hygiene conditions to assure the safety of products, by recovering 53 facilities from 2015 and the current execution of investments for other 200 units.
At the same time, she said, the installation of modern equipment for the cold and steam systems of different plants, the assembly of completely technological lines and the acquisition of new cargo vehicles and boats, are currently advancing.
Representatives from both sectors acknowledged state efforts to put a curb on the deterioration and technological obsolescence of the national food-processing industry, but also considered that these problems not only respond to real financial and material issues but also to the lack of integration into economic plans.
In different national territories the output of vegetables and fruits increases, however, a great part of these continues to be lost; it neither reaches the direct sale for consumers nor the plants for manufacturing. (Taken from Prensa Latina)
