For his part, the Citma delegate here shared a project on the planting of genetically modified corn for animal feed.
The director, Dr. Agustín Lage, from the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, talked via telephone, to ensure the quality in the reproduction of these transgenic plants.
Regarding agro-industrial development, Rafael Valera Llanes, director of the Center for Development of Agricultural Machinery (CEDEMA), presented the project files on Agricultural Production Technologies in Holguin. In this sense, he insisted on the need of financing for the development of many projects that cannot be materialized due to lack of shareholders.
One of the recent innovations made by this company in order to optimize time and humanize work was the creation of a machine that will mechanize the process of planting and harvesting cassava.
Chapman motivated this company to design windmills in order to cover the water supply in small communities, through micro aqueducts, and to improve irrigation in the fields and contribute to greater food production for the population.
Queipo, as a summary of the check-up, called to dust off the scientific research and put it into action in the different companies, which bet on development using science, technology and innovation.
