Sources from the sector pointed out that plans include increasing production by 45 percent this year, compared to 2008.

The greatest effort will be made to build covered crop houses, irrigation machines, galvanized structures, and telephone and lamp posts.

In addition, the batter factory, the only one of its kind in the country, will increase production to 100,000 units.

Last year, Cuba's iron and steel industry fulfilled its production plan and exported 894 tons of non-ferrous scrap metal and 18 tons of steel.
