Cuban technologies for the agricultural sector

Ecuador will accommodate the installation of a Cuban plant for the manufacture of agricultural inputs.

Cuban society LABIOFAM in Ecuador will install a plant for the production of bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers, food supplements and vaccines.

Ecuador wants to replace imported chemicals used in agriculture by these products, made ??from fungi and micro-organisms. From the economic point of view, this change will be very profitable: to produce 1 unit of bio-pesticides costs 1 dollar, to import 1 unit of agro-chemical costs $ 22.

Cuba is a world leader in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. This sector that the Cuban state has developed over 25 years by investing there is now the second export sector of the island. Cuba has indeed highly developed research and innovation to combat the effects of the embargo imposed by its powerful neighbor.
