The company Richmeat de Cuba SA reported that after a brief planned maintenance, its meat processing plant in the Mariel Special Development Zone resumed operations and maintains its production of some 3,000 metric tons of minced meat per month.

A recent note from the company, the first user of foreign investment (Mexico) established in the ZED Mariel, specifies that the factory undertook comprehensive technological maintenance for five days, and since the beginning of March it began to operate normally again.

The communication, published on the ZED Mariel website, indicates that this process is part of the company's work policy, aimed at the quality and safety of food, and also considers the oversizing of the production plans of the last months.

This action, adds the text, also contributes to the beginning of the process to obtain the HACCP certification (granted by the National Standardization Office), with which Richmeat de Cuba SA could advance in its expected export projection in the medium term.

The factory has maintained compliance with the contracts agreed with its clients and is working on identifying others within the Cuban market, the note highlights.

It adds that in its beginnings Richmeat de Cuba SA projected a monthly production of 300 metric tons, and the productive capacity increased gradually until, from November 2019 to date, it exceeds 3,000 metric tons per month.

The group of workers also increased, from 30 to the current number of more than 160.

Richmeat is committed to being "always at the Cubans' table", consolidating itself in that position during the pandemic, in which it continued to produce daily at one hundred percent of its capacity.
