The Minister of Science, Technology and Environment, Elba Rosa Pérez Montoya, presented a list with recommendations to improve the results in this sector.

Miguel Diaz-Canel urged to apply more science and innovation in the sugar agroindustry: "Undoubtedly to seek a change innovation is needed, to distinguish where to direct scientific research, what technologies we are going to apply, and finance it. It is essential to look for structures that make innovation possible and we have to go to all areas: seeds, cultivation, cutting, varieties, industry... We have a lot of research, but what we need is to update it and apply it a broader scale. If we organize ourselves well, in two years we will be able to see the impact of what we do in this sense".
