Cuba is currently getting ready for the 2019-2020 <\/span>sugar harvest<\/span><\/a>, which will begin in November with the participation of 44 sugar factories and a production plan greater than that of the previous harvest, not met by 13% with a result of 1.3 million tons of sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The grinding of the cane will begin in the second half of November at the Boris Luis Santa Coloma sugar factory, in the western province of Mayabeque, the communication manager of the Azcuba Azucarero Group, Liobel P\u00e9rez, said this Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Repairs at the sugar factories and refineries are being carried out in phases and their compliance is considered vital to alleviate the crop\u2019s lack of agribusiness efficiency, one of the causes of the deficit in the last harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a favorable performance in this activity, in which only three sugar factories have delays with respect to what has been programmed,” added the official, <\/span>quoted<\/span><\/a> by the state press agency Prensa Latina<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other preparations are geared at the restoration of roads to the sugar factories, as well as the transportation of cane from the fields to the factories, by increasing the railroad\u2019s participation.<\/span><\/p>\n
