Kirenia Balada Peña, director of the Food Production and Distribution Company (Numa) in the territory, explained the benefits of the chaining in the entity, among which are 15 projects with foreign investors and the negotiation of contracts that allowed the financing for the repair of real estate, the acquisition of technology and the improvement of production.
