The Sugar Harvest Begins in Las Tunas
By Roger Aguilera
Las
Tunas, Cuba, Jan14, (ACN).-
The harvest in the province has begun with the
sugarcane harvests in the Amancio
Rodriguez sugar mill ;
whose industry will produce sugar, alcohol, honey
and rum.
The
center will be launched early next week, after
completing the
appropriate repairs
and tested, with ground cane, to prove the good
performance of
machinery.
The
mill that was built by the Revolution nearly a
quarter century ago
will begin milling on
the 21st of this month. Antonio Guiteras, one of the
largest producers of sugar in Cuba, will also most
start at the end of this month, with renewed
machinery, mainly the boilers.
It is
expected to obtain an average of 11 tons of sugar
per hundred tons of milled cane, quite a high yield,
but already reached in
the
province in previous harvests.
