As is customary, the province of Matanzas starred in another intense productive day, this time on the land of the Cuba Libre Cooperative Production Basic Unit  (UBPC), in Jovellanos, where managers and workers from various sectors of the economy and services attended. 
Rogelio Ramírez Leyva, president of the UBPC, thanked the eight hectares (ha) sown with today’s contribution, which meant, he said, a great contribution to surpass the 232 ha planting plan.
Orlando Vandrell Cuello, director of the sugar company, said that Matanzas continues to mark the national step in the planting of sugarcane and that the province should close the year with about 9,000 ha “there are still 3,000 to be planted,” he said.
According to Vandrell Cuello, work is being done to fulfill the plan and thus be able to rescue part of the still empty areas. This would allow, he said, that in the 2022/2023 harvest the four mills can grind, a challenge that imposes a good spring and cold sowing campaign.

Invited by Liván Izquierdo Alonso, the first secretary of the Party, the singer-songwriter Raúl Torres, attended the call. «It fills me with pride to be here. It is our turn to help the country, to move forward in the midst of this criminal, genocidal blockade to which they have subjected us. We really have to go into production. “

A similar gesture was carried out by the members of the Matanzas baseball team. Los Cocodrilos, led by Armando Ferrer, are used to productive Sundays.
Osmar Ramírez Ramírez,  general secretary of the Provincial Committee of the  Cuba Trade Workers Union, thanked all those who today, in any part of Matanzas, contributed a little bit to gradually recover economic vitality.
