Mayabeque, Cuba: Peasants from Mayabeque promote food production to guarantee the provision of varied assortments to markets, hospitals and other facilities in the Cuban capital.
From the call of the highest authorities of the country to achieve greater development in key sectors of the economy and the linking of different lines in the productive pole of the municipality of Quivicán, in Mayabeque, they work to supply more food to the people.
Hence, the challenge for young peasant Odeimi Rodríguez is to produce more.
At the La Caridad farm of the Cuba Socialista Cooperative, farmer Daniel Baños Alonso refers that the peasants’ claim is that they authorize them to sell their productions to the people of the Cuban capital, at capped prices.
Different crops of proven quality are obtained at the José Antonio Echeverría Credit and Services Cooperative (CCS), belonging to the 19 de Abril Agricultural Company.
