Havana, Oct 12, 2009 (EFE via COMTEX) --

The Cuban government is reopening abandoned factories to increase
manufacturing output and reduce imports amid a sharp cash crunch caused
by the global economic recession, state media reported Monday.

Among the industrial facilities reopening is a plant operated by Empresa
de Pastas y Caramelos in the eastern city of Santiago that makes
crackers and had been shuttered for nearly a decade, the official daily
Granma said.
