According to Monday´s official Granma daily, in the first four months of
the year over one million liters of milk were not delivered in the
island´s central province, 17 percent of what was previously planned,
meaning that nationwide there over four million less than expected.

The daily adds that there are deficiencies in the contracts, which does
not allow producers to show their true potential, inappropriate
transportation and collection of the product in addition to other
organizational problems and quality of the milk.

This is currently happening, the daily recalls, amidst last year´s
experience of inefficiencies when 39 million liters were not sent to the
milk industry, reason why the country was forced to spend an additional 15
million dollars in importing the product.
