Pérez torula yeast factory, owned by Ciro Redondo —founded in 1965 at the proposal of Che—, where the three outstanding municipalities in the work of the last year will be recognized and Four distinctions will be given on April 4 (three to pioneers and the other to an educational institution that stands out in the work of the pioneer organization).
