The Construction Workers Service Company (GARBO) in the province of Holguin commercializes ecological products, as part of environmental protection programs.
 
Rosa Leyva, specialist of that entity, said that vegetables and viands are among the organic products commercialized in markets, with great acceptance by the population.
 
She noted that although the corporate purpose of the entity is the sale of products and services related to construction, this ecological line also includes ornamental and timber plants, pork meat and eggs.

According to Leyva the products are grown using natural fertilizers, including earthworm humus, with proven positive effects on the growth and efficiency of agricultural cycles.
 
This program not only protects the environment from harmful chemical elements contained in artificial fertilizers, but also contributes to the substitution of imports and economic savings, due to the high price in the international market for these compounds, Leyva said.
 
In Holguin, there is an environmental training network, to which other companies and organizations are linked, such as the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and the University of Holguin.
 
This initiative includes a series of indicators aimed at minimizing the business impact on ecosystems and promoting community education around the protection of nature. / ACN
