A Cuban resident in the municipality of Maisí, in the province of Guantánamo, raises bees with the aim of alleviating the sugar shortage that exists in Cuba.
A report from official television Solvision He reflected his case as “an example that in any little piece of land production can be achieved to contribute to the family economy.”
This Cuban explained that since she woke up she has been working in the fields. “I have beans, corn, cane,” he listed.
As for the bees, he said he started with three “that they gave me, and look how many I have, because of the sugar mess. I don't have to buy sugar anymore"I have things to do for my children."
The shortage of sugar in Cuba is combined with the lack of basic food products on the island.
At the beginning of last April, The Cuban Government warned, during the monthly meeting of its Council of Ministers, of difficulties with the supply of regulated sugar to the population, this as a consequence of the deficiencies in the development of the current harvest.
The contest, according to the island's Minister of Economy and Planning, Joaquín Alonso Vázquez, has been marked by low industrial and sugarcane yields, to which have been added the effects of fuel deficit and other organizational issues, in which the official did not delve further.
Precisely, lThe province of Guantánamo is one of the Cuban territories that has seen difficulties in completing this product in the rationed basket that it gives to its population..
At the end of last March, lThe inhabitants of that Cuban town lived with the uncertainty of whether the desired sugar would reach their regulated quota..
Only the municipality of Caimanera and eight Niceto wineries had seven pounds of rice and four of sugar complete; the rest of the province, three days before the end of the month, was living an uncertain future with the products of the basic family basket.
