Camagüey, January 1st – In the vast and fertile landscape of the province of Camagüey, the year 2025 witnessed a vital and indispensable force: the work of women in the countryside.
Their role, far from being secondary, has established itself as fundamental for agricultural productivity, social cohesion, and the preservation of rural culture. Their constant dedication, daily effort, and resilience in the face of challenges not only deserve recognition but should be celebrated as the foundation upon which much of life in the rural areas of the region rests.
Their day begins before dawn. With hands in the soil and wisdom passed down from generation to generation, these women tend herds, plant, cultivate, and harvest. Confronting the hardships of the climate and the complexities of modern agriculture, they combine knowledge with an admirable capacity for innovation.
Historically, women have played a crucial role in activities related to livestock farming, from managing care and feeding to implementing innovative practices that improve production. Their dedication and commitment have not only contributed to the local economy but have also challenged gender stereotypes, demonstrating that their leadership and abilities are essential for the progress of genetic farms.
Through various initiatives, such as cooperatives and training programs, many women from Camagüey are taking on roles of responsibility that allow them to make key decisions, standing out as pioneers in the pursuit of more efficient and sustainable livestock farming.
Celebrating their work today is, in essence, to honor the soul of the Cuban countryside. The so-called weaker sex is the beating heart of Agramontine agriculture. Their story is one of struggle and love for the land, a narrative that deserves all the recognition and attention of the nation.
