Pinar del Río plans to increase the planting areas dedicated to covered tobacco

 

Aware of its role in the national production of tobacco for export, Pinar del Río plans to increase the planting areas dedicated to covered tobacco, from which the layers that cover the famous Havana cigars are obtained.


 The plantation plan will rise to 910 hectares (ha) in the
2020-2021 race, which will undoubtedly require greater efforts from the
vegueros and the productive structures of the province.


 Víctor Fidel Hernández Pérez, delegate of Agriculture in
Vueltabajo, explained that about 40 ha more will be cultivated for the stage than in
the previous one.


He specified in a recent meeting to check the
sector programs in the territory that this commitment will be assumed by 636 producers.


Cuban tobacco is an item of great demand and acceptance in
the foreign market, hence the role of the largest
leaf- producing territory in Cuba and which contributes just over 65 percent of the nightshade
produced on the Island, to help satisfy
international demands .


This calendar amounts to 150 million units, the demand for this
line in the world, according to Gustavo Rodríguez Rollero, Minister of Agriculture, therefore the call to increase this type of tobacco.


For July 28, the advance of the seedbed irrigation of
the next campaign is estimated in order to take advantage of the climatic conditions,
especially in the northern municipalities, which are seriously
affected in the coming months due to the lack of rainfall.


Some 19,769 hectares is the planned goal to sow in the
next period and an estimated yield of 1.1 tons per hectare, still below the potential of this region of western Cuba.


Pinar del Río faced difficulties in the contest that ended,
which led to obtaining less harvesting area than estimated, such as rain, disease and drought.


The province contributes all of the capes to the
twisting industry in Cuba and volumes of the export layers, according to Agriculture sources.
