Cuba Sugar Mill Achieves 5,000 Tons Using Private Partnership Model

The Enidio Díaz Machado sugar mill in Campechuela successfully produced 5,000 tons of sugar through a partnership with a private microenterprise, according to reports from Cuba. This collaboration model, which provides financial resources, fuel, and supplies, is intended to be replicated in other mills across the province. This success contrasts sharply with the broader industry performance, as Granma province produced only 5,277 tons during the 2024-2025 harvest, and national sugar production fell below 150,000 metric tons.

The successful operation of the mill validates a state-private partnership model within the Cuban agricultural sector. This approach is being promoted by officials as a means to address the severe decline in national sugar production, which reached its lowest level in over a century.
