Rubén Pina Ángelbello, provincial director of the Dairy Products Company, informed Cuban News Agency that the objective of the constructive work is to solve sanitary issues affecting the quality and safety of its productions.
The milk reception area is being remodeled as well as the storage facilities , such as tanks, homogenizers and chillers of fresh milk, that receive the product directly from the farmers, said Pina Ángelbello.
He pointed out that although these appliances exceed three decades of exploitation, the general remodeling, valued at about 150 000 pesos, will return their value in use.

While these tasks are being carried out, the UEB of the city of Ciego de Ávila will assume the processing of both units, said Pina Ángelbello.
