HAVANA, Cuba, May 15 (acn) The production of refined sugar in the central Cuban province of province of Camaguey reached 50 thousand tons since last December in two of its plants.
This production is exclusively destined to cover the ration quota of the population every month with subsidized prices and also to supply the food industry, restaurants and markets where anyone can purchase more of the product at a higher cost.
The largest amount of production, which is priced at over 380 dollars a ton in the international market, goes to the Ignacion Agramonte Sugar Mill while the Argentina factory is currently facing constant problems in the development of the harvest which limited the amount of sugar cane cutting and its refining.
Due to this situation the Camaguey Sugar Company decided to enhance the works at the Ignacio Agramonte plant and stop the operations of the other called Argentina.
The Ignacio Agramonte, which has not intervened in the sugar cane processing for several years, had an output of 32 thousand tons since January, some three thousand more than planned.
Camaguay projected producing 54 thousand 500 tons but due to the problems at the Argentina plant the outcome was much less.
With the beginning of the upcoming harvest possibly in December the two industries in the province will once again begin refining after reparation and maintenance work.
