Florida, Jan. 21 – The success of the sugar harvest in the municipality of Florida requires organization, discipline, use of time and resources, as well as solidarity support from the rest of the institutions and organizations, as was valued in the meeting to analyze the preparations for the harvest in the territory.
Central issues in the analysis on the preparation of this campaign in Florida were the preparation of the machinery, the structure of the cutting platoons, the food guarantees, the sponsorship and the emulation system in each one of the companies and groups committed to deliver sugarcane to the mills of the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes sugar mill.
Among the limitations that could delay the beginning of the harvest in some entities of the sugar system are the shortage of tires, batteries and lubricants, essential resources for which internal alternatives are being sought while waiting for their arrival based on the supply capacities in the country.
Ignacio Agramonte Agroindustrial Sugar Enterprise has a state harvesting platoon with the task of supplying the industry with some six thousand tons of raw material, while the four mechanized cutting fronts in Argentina intend to stockpile more than 60 thousand tons of sugarcane in the current harvest.
José Luis Rodríguez González, director of the sugar agroindustry in Agramonte, emphasized that in addition to the enthusiasm and determination of the men, to carry out an efficient campaign it is necessary to achieve an efficient operation in the distribution of fuels and lubricants, and to control the role of the contracted transportation.
