Vietnam Helps Grow Rice in Cuba

Las Tunas, August 25 (RHC-PL)-- Vietnamese specialists have developed a
cooperation project to improve rice production in small plots of land in
the eastern Cuban province of Las Tunas.

Vietnamese support for the program started with the arrival of two
threshing and two cutting machines, together with other equipment needed to
perfect the cultivation and treating of rice.

Part of the equipment is being used by the Services and Credit Cooperative
(CCS) to work on improving varieties and obtaining seeds, and other
supplies went to Dagamal, Majibacoa, to work on milling, drying and storing
of rice.

The Vietnamese-Cuban collaboration project was initially conceived for
three years, with the possibility to extend it until 2012 in other Cuban
provinces.

The program will directly benefit nearly 1,200 growers.

Since the last decade of the 20th Century, Cuba has fostered a plan to make
rice production popular in places with conditions for cultivation to
improve national self-supply in the island.
