Camagüey, Jan. 1st.- In the vast and fertile landscape of the province of Camagüey, the year 2025 has witnessed a vital and indispensable force: the work of women in the countryside.
Far from being secondary, their role has been consolidated 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 foundations upon which much of life in the region's rural areas is built.
Their workday begins before dawn. With their hands in the soil and wisdom passed down through generations, these women tend to livestock, sow, cultivate, and harvest. Facing the inclemencies of the weather and the complexities of modern agriculture, they combine traditional knowledge with an admirable capacity for innovation.
Historically, women have played a crucial role in livestock farming activities, 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 capabilities are essential for the progress of genetic breeding centers.
Through various initiatives, such as cooperatives and training programs, many women from Camagüey are taking on positions of responsibility that allow them to make key decisions, standing out as pioneers in the search for more efficient and sustainable livestock farming.
To celebrate their labor today is, in essence, to honor the soul of the Cuban countryside. The so-called "weaker sex" is the beating heart of agriculture in Camagüey. In 2025, their story is one of struggle and love for the land, a narrative that deserves the full recognition and attention of the nation.
