HAVANA TIMES – More than 50 thousand cubic meters of timber, demolished by Hurricane Sandy last October, are about to be lost in the eastern province of Santiago de Cuba, while the resource is scarce at the sales points for building materials needed by the population, reported the Café Fuerte website.
Apparently the collection is delayed by a shortage of loggers to transport the tree trunks to the saw mills, lax worker productivity and organizational problems.
The government’s Forestry Company of Santiago de Cuba awaits the arrival of two engines for its trucks, but driver Doris Sierra said that if they don’t arrive on time it will be very difficult to save even 30 percent of the wood.
