La Zona Especial de Desarrollo del Mariel (ZEDM), al occidente de Cuba, acogerá una nueva planta de procesamiento de cárnicos de la empresa mexicana Richmeat, la primera firma extranjera en instalarse en ese enclave económico en la isla. La nueva fábrica se dedicará a producir salchichas bajo la marca La Favorita, además de hamburguesas y albóndigas.
The Vice President of Richmeat de Cuba S.A., Alejandra Chapela Díaz, explained to the Granma newspaper that the construction will be carried out in stages and they expect to start production before completing it entirely, although no exact date was given.
He added that the plant will be much larger than the one that has been operating for almost four years in the ZEDM, where they produce ground poultry with pork and beef. A ground meat product, moreover, highly demanded by the Cuban population.
"Mantenemos la misma línea de producción inicial, que son las carnes molidas (picadillo) de ave con cerdo y de res, suministrando unas 2 500 toneladas métricas mensuales”, detalló.
¿En qué moneda venderán las salchichas mexicanas en Cuba?
The Mexican company plans to increase its capacity to produce ground meat to 10,000 metric tons with the new plant, which is equivalent to about 350 containers of meat products. Its goal is to supply the local market, including the eastern provinces, which it has not yet reached.
Currently, their products are sold in dollars (Freely Convertible Currency) in the currency stores on the island, from CIMEX and Tiendas Caribe, and that will continue to be their main market, although they plan to sell some products in Cuban pesos.
Meanwhile, at the end of last July, it was reported that a comprehensive repair and maintenance of the only hot dog factory in Cuba, located in Sancti Spíritus, had been carried out since that date, with the support of Italian experts. Therefore, national production was halted.
Según el director de la entidad, la interrupción de la producción es imprescindible “para verificar el correcto funcionamiento de toda la línea de proceso, ya que la fabricación del popular alimento requiere de una alta eficiencia en cada uno de los eslabones de la cadena productiva”.

Seguimos igual…ventas en dinero q no todos tenemos y es casi imposible tener..Hasta cuando?
I believe that if they are going to expand the production of other foods, they should improve the ground meat and those sausages that most Cubans have consumed, as they do not have sufficient quality.
