José Miguel Rodríguez, director of the marble industry, said that up to now they had processed some four thousand square meters of marbles among Rojo Campiña, from Cienfuegos, and Gris Siboney, from the Isla de la Juventud.
Also, other type is awaiting for the improving of mining development in the new local quarry of the Crema Valle rock, to be added as an exportable item.
Awaiting the definition of markets for the Siboney export, of the Ministry of Construction, the factory of Granma gathers productions in order to respond immediately to the possible demand, after three years of its last shipments abroad.
