Doctor of Sciences, Adolfo Pérez Piñeiro, who is the director of the prestigious institution, commented to Radio Rebelde station that the production of honey in Cuba has recovered and continues increasing, as well as the fact that it achieves important incomes to the national economy by being even really necessary for the pharmaceutical industry and other local related consumptions. The majorities of the Cuban honeys have a high quality and have excellent prices in the international market, so they constitute an important help for the local monetary flow of the agriculture.
