Agriculture in Florida requires arms, commitment, control and a sense of belonging if we really want to save what is left with productive possibilities in the agricultural and sugarcane fields.
Implementing without delay, and based on available resources and actions, the programs of integral attention to rural communities, in order to stop the exodus of the population from the countryside, constitutes today, perhaps, the most important mission on the road to agrifood sovereignty.
This is followed in that order by the capacity of business and the government to control the progress of the processes, the control of resources and the destinies of the harvests and other items of the agroindustry, in order to eliminate scourges such as inertia, theft, trafficking of favors, embezzlement and misuse of fuels, machinery and other state or cooperative goods.
To give back to the farmer and the agricultural worker the sense of belonging lost due to years of misapplication of state and legal policies in the sector; to zealously watch over the policy of cadres and “change everything that must be changed” in each place on time, and without fear that the enemy will find out about it, is urgent to save agriculture and improve its results in Florida’s lands.
Undoubtedly, this task will not be easy in times of crisis and lack of resources, but there is always the example of those who have shown, in equal conditions, that it is possible when the will to do, private honesty and respect for the needs of a people that, in this region, also resists and trusts in the economic recovery on the eve of celebrating the 66th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.
