Cuba Exports Technology for Agriculture

Havana, Oct, Oct 5 (acn) Cuba contributes to the increase of 
agriculture production in several countries around the globe with the 
export of over 3 million plants of yam, manioc, malanga and papaya 
produced in-vitro.

The National Research Institute on Tropical Fruit Culture, based in the 
Cuban central province of Villa Clara, provides international 
consultancy and promotes cooperation in the field of agriculture 
through the exchange of technology.

The plants produced by the Cuban scientists have high germination 
capability and are very resistant to common diseases due to their 
excellent genetic quality.

According to the director of the research facility, Sergio Rodriguez, 
some of the countries that benefit from the island's cooperation are 
Bolivia, Venezuela, Ghana and Panama.

For over two decades, the Cuban experts have participated in 
international programs aimed at increasing agriculture production in 
countries with low average yields.

Cuba is also boosting the use of organic fertilizers and biological 
agents to fight plagues, which has a positive impact on the production 
of healthy food and on the safeguarding of the environment.
