REVITALISING AGRICULTURE
AND FORESTRY
Hita, fully aware of the
benefits that farming and forestry bring to all,
is consolidating its production base through the
development of tableland, and the provision of
farm and forest roads and paths.
From now on, the aim is to
change over to new types of agriculture and
forestry to promote local and regional brand
awareness and independence in the industry,
through the development and introduction of the
latest techniques, and the establishment of a
high-level data system.
Also, Hita is working to
produce not only things, but also invest in
people, training some to succeed at the family
farm, others to be sensitive to market data and
the various environmental problems involved in
forestry.
