Cuban Association Launches Contest for Fidel Castro 100th Birthday

Havana, Feb 12 (ACN) Cuba’s Animal Production Association (ACPA) in the western province of Mayabeque called on its members – ranchers, scientists, technicians, and youths—to participate a national contest to pay tribute to the 100th birthday of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castsro (1926-2016).

According to Radio Mayabeque radio station, the contest includes the categories of visual arts, photography, literature and narration of poems, and short essays, expressing the legacy of the top Cuban leader in his relationship to animal production and food-production systems.

As part of his huge promotion of ranching, Fidel Castro lived his last years researching on a strategy to enhance pastures, forages and protein-containing plants. He even turned areas around his home in Havana into an experimental lab where he got important results.
