In Cuba, the Granmas enterprise is investing in infrastructure, such as a new 55-ton dryer in Bartolomé Masó, to modernize grain production and enhance food security. In Argentina, efforts to improve the sector involve both policy discussions and calls for structural repairs. Agricultural groups, including the Bolsa de Cereales and the Argentine Agro-Industrial Council, have met with government officials to discuss reducing tax burdens and modernizing regulatory frameworks for biofuels and the Merchant Marine. However, leaders from organizations such as CARBAP have raised concerns regarding the deteriorating state of rural roads and water works, specifically noting that delayed projects on the Salado River and a lack of maintenance could be exacerbated by El Niño weather patterns. Meanwhile, the Sociedad Rural Argentina is focusing on strengthening ties with regional producers to address local economic concerns. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-11: Argentine agricultural leaders call for improved rural infrastructure Argentine agricultural leaders, including representatives from CARBAP and SRA, are calling for urgent improvements to rural infrastructure and road networks to mitigate climate risks and support economic growth 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/argentine-agricultural-leaders-call-for-improved-rural-infrastructure ### 2026-08-08: Agricultural sectors in Cuba and Argentina advance infrastructure and policy goals Agricultural sectors in Cuba and Argentina are advancing key initiatives, including infrastructure modernization in Granma and discussions on tax reduction and biofuel regulation in Argentina. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agricultural-sectors-in-cuba-and-argentina-advance-infrastructure-and-policy-goals --- Cite as: Agricultural infrastructure and policy in Cuba and Argentina.
