Mayabeque, Cuba: The Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz, and the Director General of Foreign Trade, Vivian Herrera Cid, appeared this Tuesday at the Round Table Program to assess the progress of the export and import possibilities that are opened up to non-state forms of management and the decision that non-state management forms also participate with their productions and services in the country’s exports.
There was a certain complexity because we had to create the conditions for that objective to be developed, and a group of specialized companies was authorized to offer this type of service to non-state forms.
Legal conditions and mechanisms have been created for the export of forms of non-state management. It is a priority for the country.
The export activity is NOT only for cooperative members and Self-Employed Workers, but for all forms of non-state management, including small farmers, artisans, among others.
We are demanding from the 41 state companies that provide the export / import service to non-state management forms, that this service has to be of quality, Rodrigo Malmierca expressed.
4,450 people have approached the importing / exporting companies showing interest, of which there are 2,081 who have firm intentions to establish some type of operation.
The general director of Foreign Trade, Vivian Herrera Cid, reported that many clients have expressed why of the 41 companies that provide export / import services, many do not have a presence in the provinces, only in the capital. This is evaluated.
The safest sources of resources that Cuba has are precisely exports. In the midst of the current pandemic and with the permanent one, it constitutes an important point in the economic and social strategy and the ordering task.
