Recognized in the country and beyond for its different products, mainly guava and mango pastes and jams, this entity is the only grassroots business unit (UEB) in the Caribbean nation that directly became a company, without first becoming a subsidiary.

This change, according to its director Idalberto Rodríguez, responds to the actions promoted by the Cuban government to strengthen state-owned companies, which in his case will allow them to continue developing.

Speaking to Prensa Latina, he said that it was not a random decision, but is based on the consolidated work of La Conchita, with a tradition of more than six decades in the production of canned fruits and vegetables.

We export to several markets, especially Chinese and European, with two essential products: guava cream and mango paste, he explained.
