In the last two days, about 1,300 kilos of lobster had been stored there, a food that has become extinct on Cuban tables.
LIMA, Peru – A fire broke out during the early hours of this Saturday at the La Coloma Industrial Fishing Company, the most important of its kind in Cuba.
According to the state newspaper Guerrillaforces from the Pinar del Río Fire Department are working at the scene of the incident to put out the flames.
Yordan Nogueira Tapia, director of the entity, pointed out that so far no loss of human life or risk of ammonia escape has been reported. Likewise, that the industry was not working at the time of the fire.
An officer’s report Radio Guamá assures that the flames have severely affected the industrial processing area, where the most important processes take place.
Nogueira Tapia also stated that in the last two days only about 1,300 kilos of lobster had been stored there, pending packaging, and they were waiting for new volumes of the product.
The La Coloma Industrial Fishing Company provides around 45% of the lobster caught in Cuba, in addition to 80% of the bonito. While the Castro regime uses these products for the tourism and export sector, both foods have almost completely disappeared from the tables of the people on the Island.
