The Agro-industrial Sugar Company (EAA) Ecuador, from Ciego de Ávila, fulfilled its sugar plan of 14 118 tons (t), a result that makes it the fourth in the country to achieve it.

Iván Jiménez Darias, general director of Ecuador, a factory-refinery located in the municipality of Baraguá, explained to Invasor digital that they will make about 200 more t after the liquidation process, a result that satisfies them but not entirely, considering the deficiencies of the current harvest, which delayed the completion date, scheduled for last March.

The news, released this Friday, is very favorable, as sugar squads from Baraguá will support the cutting of cane in areas of the EAA Enrique Varona, in the municipality of Chambas, which are in low-lying areas to anticipate the start of the rains.

Eduardo Larrosa Vázquez, director of Coordination and technical supervision of the Azcuba sugar group in the province, told the website that this contribution of men and means will be important, because the strategy of the harvest in the territory focuses on the Ciro Redondo sugar factory will grind the cane that remains.

He added that four squads of Case brand harvesters, with new technology, and others from EAA Ciro Redondo itself would move to chamber lands so that more than 6000 tons of grass can be reached more quickly to their dumper.

The objective is that for the remainder of April and until the days of May when the weather conditions allow it, the EAA Primero de Enero delivers 1000 t of cane each day, the EAA Ecuador 375 t, the EAA Brasil, in Camagüey, will contribute with 700 t, and the rest from the production bases of Ciro Redondo, Larrosa Vázquez stated.

To date, Ciego de Ávila has accumulated 68 percent of the fulfillment of its sugar plan, which makes it the third Cuban province to come close to its commitments, which can come to fruition because it has enough raw material for it, Digital Invader considered.

This sugar revolution has taken place in the territory of Ciego de Ávila with not a few setbacks, since, for example, the bioelectric plant, close to Ciro Redondo, the most modern in the country, was paralyzed for 35 days, which stopped the work in that factory, responsible for produce the largest amount of sugar in the province.

The bioelectric plant, the first plant of this type in Cuba in the modality of foreign investment and a pioneer in the use of marabú as fuel, provides the power station with electricity and thermal energy necessary in its industrial process.
