Havana, August 22 (RHC) -– The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has strengthened its cooperation program with Cuba until 2018 in priority areas like agriculture, food safety and nutrition.
 
Claudio Tomasi, UNDP representative to Havana, told ACN that international projects, like Basal and Agrocadenas among others, contribute to the implementation of some of the Guidelines of the Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution.
 
He explained that Agrocadenas hopes to contribute to improve the population’s food safety by way of the strengthening at a local level of selected food and agriculture chains of beans, corn, milk and beef in 13 of the country’s municipalities.
 
Foreign trade and investment executives assert that Agrocadenas will contribute to complement the work the nation has been carrying out to increase local production and reduce imports.
