Artemisa, Cuba - The Base Business Unit 'UEB Semillas' is working on the production for the Cold Campaign in order to ensure the supply of grains to the various agricultural companies and cooperative units, in the municipality of San Antonio de los Baños and the province of Artemisa.
According to Yoannys Rodríguez Vidal, director of the company, seeds are sold for the cultivation of onion, tomato, cabbage, carrot, chard and beet. He also noted that the treatment of the seeds of several varieties of beans, which are sown during this season, is also carried out.
