14ymedio Havana, 4 July 2015 – A popular Cuban refrain says that when
something ends in violence it was because "it ended like party in El
Guatao." This village immortalized in the national refrain received a
visit from Fidel Castro Friday, according to the official press, which
highlighted his visit to the Food Industry Research Institute, where he
talked about climate change and cheese making in the country.

The appearance of Fidel Castro, three months after his last public
outing, occurred a few days after it was announced that the embassies of
the United States and Cuba would reopen in their respective territories.
Participating in the meeting were María del Carmen Concepción González,
Minister of the Food Industry, several members of the governing board of
that body, and faculty from the Institute.

Cuba's dairy industry is experiencing its worst moments, if we compare
it to 1984 which set a record with an annual production of 1.1 billion
liters of milk. Last year, however, according to the National Office of
Statistics, dairy farms produced barely 497 million liters.
