The volumes of charcoal for export are increased

Faced with the complex scenario of the world economy, it is imperative to promote the production of items that, from the municipalities, favor exports and substitute imports.

"Amancio," Las Tunas.- The products that can be extended to the national and international market, benefiting local and country development, are identified in the municipality.

Suleiny Iznaga García, director of Planning and Economy, explained that at the end of 2020 this indicator reached 168.2 percent of compliance, favored by the high production of alcohol during the second half of the year, which represented more than 64 thousand hectoliters.
Likewise, the volumes of charcoal are increased, from the inclusion of cinder and briquettes.

At the moment, exports in this town to the south of Las Tunas are going through a complex situation, since the alcohol plant is stopped by a decision of the country and there is a lack of inputs for the production of charcoal.

Regarding the stoppage of the Sevilla distillery, where alcohol is manufactured for the international market, mainly European, the directive said that steps are taken by the business group to minimize downtime and affect workers as little as possible.

For the current calendar, "Amancio" is looking for alternatives as part of the new strategies, to bring quality products to internal and external markets aimed at generating incomes and strengthen the economy.
