What happened
The Dairy Products Company in Santiago de Cuba is operating significantly below its intended capacity, according to its general manager, Eduardo Griñán, in a report by Sierra Maestra.

Why it matters
The dairy industry in Santiago de Cuba relies heavily on imported raw materials, with nearly 90% of powdered milk coming from outside the region. This import dependency, combined with infrastructure failures, limits local production and affects the food sector in Santiago de Cuba Province.
