Engineer Lázaro Bello Rodríguez, deputy delegate of various crops, commented that although it is a campaign marked by the economic challenges of the nation and the crisis in the world market, the state has prioritized the fertilization and chemical products necessary to satisfy the commitment national and in particular the Matanzas, which amounts to 1,440 hectares, with a greater presence this year of the so-called organic potato, free of chemical products. Thus, the people of Matanzas continue to clear and prepare land for this season, which should reach 1,440 hectares, that is, less than half of the areas in production during the past decade, when volumes that amounted to 55,000 tons materialized. It is striking in this endeavor, in which the temperatures seem to be doing their bit of support; the acquisition of nine fertilizer furrowers, machinery that introduces efficiency in the treatment of crops, said the official, who reiterated: "the outlook is promising." The knowledge about cultivation, the specialization shown by private producers and the recovery of more than fifty irrigation equipment, as well as fumigation, works in favor of farmers, it is a whole mechanism designed to reach 26 thousand tons of the food, but in all fairness, it is less than half of what was harvested in the past decade.
