The Sugar Workers celebrate their day on October 13 in the midst of the preparations for the sugar harvest in the midst of the challenges posed by the epidemiological situation, the tightening of the blockade against Cuba and the deterioration of prices in the world market.

At this time of serious material and financial limitations, the country needs, as never before, the sugar workers: their proverbial capacity to overcome all kinds of difficulties and offer a productive response, in sugar and its derivatives, which adds vital income to the national economy.

Along with the most urgent work, it is also necessary for each agricultural or manufacturing collective to make a critical analysis of the shortcomings and mistakes of the previous campaign, in order to avoid the harmful repetition of problems, which later translate into precious time lost, low efficiency and, therefore, less sugar.
