In a desperate attempt to alleviate the food crisis in Cuba, the regime seeks to revive the urban agriculture program in the municipality of Rafael Freyre in Holguin, transforming a landfill into productive plots.
The pro-government channel Canal Caribe published a report on Facebook this Saturday in which the government boasts of rescuing plots in neighborhoods and towns, affirming that the secret to the success of the project to increase food production lies in "commitment and desire to act".
In an attempt to rescue the urban agriculture program initiated in 1987, which the regime has acknowledged has not yielded the expected results, Yailín Álvarez, provincial coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) in Holguín, reported that they have turned a micro dump into a productive plot, ironically named "La Esperanza".
The fruits obtained here are intended for vulnerable people in the area, including mothers with more than three children, the maternity home, and the daycare center, pointed out the official channel.
The former spy Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, national coordinator of the CDR, reported via telephone that with this initiative in the Holguin municipality of Rafael Freyre, they were starting what he called a "movement of agricultural food production from the neighborhood with the direct participation of the people."
Likewise, Joel Queipo Ruiz, first secretary of the PCC in the province of Holguín, boasted by saying that this productive movement will "spread throughout the entire province".
The desperate attempt to grow food and alleviate in any way Cuba's suffocating food situation has its background in statements made by the Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel during a recent visit to the municipality of San Luis, in Santiago de Cuba.
During this tour, Díaz-Canel informed the residents of the town about the importance of "planting more" to address the food shortages they are currently facing.
"We are convinced that there is land here to produce the food that we need here, in the municipality. And the hands are here, the strength is here. And the courage," said the ruler to a group of people who applauded the ruler's conviction that Cubans will know how to survive the crisis and food shortages caused by their policies.
