Florida, July 11 – Although the municipality’s agricultural production still does not meet the demands of the population, Florida agriculture is recording more favorable results in the first six months of 2025, compared to the same period in the previous calendar year.
The production and collection of milk for industry, for example, has so far reached 92 percent of the planned budget, beef sales to the Socialist State Enterprise are overfulfilled, and the planting campaign for various crops is achieving improved results, especially the planting of cassava and plantain, with the goal of establishing one caballería of these crops per thousand inhabitants.
The progress made to date in Florida’s main agricultural programs is not only due to the efforts and response of the peasant sector and other local producers, but also to the increased controls and demands of municipal agrarian, political, and governmental structures, in a united and systematic manner.
Fulfilling the agreed-upon commitments in the local agricultural sector constitutes a formidable challenge under the current conditions of the Cuban economy, impacted by limitations such as a shortage of fuel, lubricants, spare parts for machinery, and other basic resources, along with natural shortages related to the lack of water in reservoirs and the presence of pests and diseases.
