New call for applications for the creation of MSMEs in Cuba
The Ministry of Economy and Planning of Cuba (MEP) approved a new call for the presentation of applications for the creation of micro, small and medium enterprises (Mipymes), and non-agricultural cooperatives (CNA) in the country.
As reported by the Economic Actors Channel, on the Telegram digital platform, the new call includes the activities of manufacturing productions and computer services. Regarding the scope of manufacturing productions, it clarifies that these include the transformation of materials, substances or components into new products. It details that these materials can be raw materials from agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing, as well as products from other manufacturing activities. Manufacturing productions involve the use of machinery in factories or plants and also manual transformation at home, he adds. It stands out that in the National Classifier of Economic Activities (CNAE) they are located in Section C, which covers activities as diverse as the manufacture of textile products to the manufacture of machinery and equipment, passing through the production of all types of construction materials and manufacturing food production. Likewise, it communicates that the possibility of submitting applications for the activities of the first call remains open: food production, exporters, local development projects, businesses incubated in science and technology parks as well as technology-based businesses, and circular economy and recycling. Regarding the applications that were archived because they were not part of the previous call, it indicates that if they are part of the new call, they are automatically activated and begin to be processed together with those received from this moment. On September 29, the first 35 MSMEs were approved, of which 13 are for food production, six for manufacturing, three related to recycling activities and another three incubated in the Science and Technology Park of Havana.
