"We want to host the seminar not only to mark the anniversary of the foundation of the corporation in 1962, but also to talk about the Cuban sugar industry, its reality, challenges, possibilities and projections.

Other issues include the future role of Cuba in the world sugar economy, the supply/demand of the product by 2020, sugar products and new developments in sugar cane production.
