Varadero , Matanzas.–The Vietnam-Cuba rice production project since 2002 is an example of collaboration and a reflection of what we can achieve by joining forces.
This was how Ydael Pérez Brito, Minister of Agriculture, defined it at the end of a meeting held at the Varadero International Hotel to evaluate the results of a cooperation model that has captured the attention of the Cuban people and marks a milestone in efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in this cereal and advance in the pursuit of food sovereignty.
Throughout the five stages of this project, we have worked closely together, sharing knowledge, technologies, and experiences that have enriched our agricultural capacity and allowed us to look to the future with optimism, the sector leader commented.
At the exchange, attended by Vietnam's ambassador to Cuba, Le Quang Long, several participants expressed their gratitude for the political will of the Asian nation's government in its contribution to food sovereignty in the Greater Antilles.
When discussing some of the advantages of collaboration, producers, technicians, and entrepreneurs from the country's various rice-growing regions acknowledged that the project gave them the opportunity to increase yields, access higher-quality inputs, equipment, and seed varieties, and benefit from technology transfer.
Our yield was barely around three tons, but now we're at nine tons per hectare, explained Lázaro Puerta, a native of Camagüey.
During the meeting, recognitions were given to the workers and technicians who most promoted the aforementioned cooperation project, and the management of Actaf presented several awards, including the Grand Prize for Lifetime Achievement to Doctor of Science Rubén Vicente Alfonso Carballo.
It was evident that the completion of the fifth phase is not a final step, but rather the beginning of a new phase aimed at strengthening the achievements of an experience that was validated in practice with tangible results.
