ARTEMISA, Cuba, Jan. 8 (ACN) Artemisa has the potential to increase products for export, said Ricardo Concepcion, head of the provincial administration, during an analysis of the results of this field in 2019.
The Cuban province has 21 entities producing 38 products for export, including honey, cement, charcoal, hot peppers, cigars, shark fins and swimming bladder, a figure that would increase if all companies in the territory (more than 50), especially those linked to agriculture, were inserted into the export activity, he stressed.
Concepcion highlighted as ways to find new exportable items the training of the personnel that will carry out the task in each company and the information of the inputs needed in the entities that operate in the Mariel Special Development Zone (ZEDM by its Spanish acronym), which would allow businessmen to negotiate directly with the clients their products or services.
There are three companies in Artemisa providing security and protection services, communal and public areas to partners from Russia, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Vietnam, Belgium and the Dominican Republic at the ZEDM, while the Company of Raw Materials is working to achieve a contract with more than 20 entities located in that site for the collection of recyclable solid waste, he emphasized.
For his part, Jorge Luis Oramas, head of the Department of Foreign Trade, Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation of the Provincial Administration, said that in late November the export plan was fulfilled at 80 percent while exports of charcoal, hot peppers, avocado, leather, bronze and cement were not.
He stressed that 4.072 tons (t) of raw sugar were produced for export in 2019 and the province aims to grow in honey production, cigars, copper elements and stainless steel this year, and includes coffee in the export plan that should raise about 33 million pesos.
