Los Arabos: Economic surplus, but with pending challenges .
Los Arabos has potential, but needs urgent solutions to overcome these challenges and ensure a better future for all its inhabitants. It is time to act.
At the Provincial Government Council of Matanzas, this municipality presented its management report, highlighting an economic surplus. However, the document also revealed important challenges affecting the population in key areas such as agriculture, services and youth employment.
A look at the economy
Although there is a surplus, there is concern about non-compliance in trade circulation, with low performance in sales and services.
The agricultural sector, vital to the area, does not meet local demands or fulfill assigned plans, despite its potential. In addition, state-owned companies such as the Mario Muñoz sugar company operate at a loss and fail to diversify their production.
Entire communities lack access to financial services due to lack of connectivity. In addition, there are failures in strategic deliveries, such as milk for industry and beans, and fragmented institutional communication.
On issues affecting society
Attention to the neighborhoods is deficient, with hygiene problems and criticism of the work of the Comunales.
Although the number of vulnerable families has been reduced to 134, the disengagement of young people from studies and work persists, as well as lags in projects such as the creation of mini-industries.
Among the urgent actions, the report recognizes that Los Arabos has unresolved issues from the population, which requires immediate action to reactivate key sectors and improve the quality of life.
The Council’s agenda also included the status of Local Development projects and exportable items, where results are insufficient.
Marieta Poey, governor of Matanzas, demanded greater presence of the cadres in the non-compliance sites to take concrete actions.
Los Arabos has potential, but it needs urgent solutions to overcome these challenges and guarantee a better future for all its inhabitants. It is time to act.
