Economy to Continues Growing in Las Tunas
By Hernan Bosch
With a commercial production valued
at more than 944 million Cuban pesos, the province
of Las Tunas in 2009 expects to achieve a growth of
five percent over the previous year.
It is significant for the territory,
that despite the hit of two hurricanes in September
and November 2008 increased in 29 percent its
production in comparison with 2007, when adding
about 896 million Cuban pesos.
During the last session of the
Provincial Assembly of People's Power (government),
which approved the Plan of the Economy for 2009, was
expressed that although their results diminish
institutions and ministries of the Sugar and Sidero-mechanic
Industry, others will raise.
Located about 670 kilometers east of
Havana, Las Tunas is a territory that bases its
economy on agricultural production, and is among the
14 Cuban provinces, the lowest historical average
rainfall. (acn)
