(AP) The Cuban government declared on Friday that it was propelled across the board proportioning of chicken, eggs, rice, beans, cleanser, and other fundamental items despite a grave financial emergency. Trade Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that different types of apportioning would be utilized to manage deficiencies of staple sustenances. "We're calling for quiet," said Díaz Velázquez, including that Cubans should feel consoled that at any rate cooking oil would be in plentiful supply. "It is anything but an item that will be missing from the market in any capacity." She accused the most recent round of proportioning for the solidifying of the United States (US) exchange ban by the Trump organization. Cuba imports approximately 66% of its sustenance at a yearly expense of more than $2 billion and brief deficiencies of individual items have been necessary for a considerable length of time. A few Cubans accepted the news. "The nation's experiencing a full minute. This is the correct reaction. Without this, there'll be hoarders. I just escaped work, and I had the option to purchase franks," said Lazara García, a 56-year-old tobacco-assembly line laborer. At the Havana strip mall where García got her wieners, clerks got arranges on Friday morning to restrain powdered milk to four parcels for every individual, frankfurters to four packs for each and peas to five bundles for every individual. Manuel Ordoñez, 43, who distinguished himself as an entrepreneur, said the new measures would do nothing to determine Cuban's crucial issues. "What the nation needs to do is produce. Adequate product is the thing that will prompt shorter lines," he said. Constrained apportioning of specific items has just started in numerous pieces of the nation, with stores restricting the number of things like jugs of cooking oil that a solitary customer can buy. The strategy reported by Díaz seems to go further and apply similar principles to the nation over 11 million individuals. The most recent deficiencies and apportioning seem to check the finish of a period of relative thriving yet conditions are no place near the hardship of what is known as Cuba's "unique period." read more: https://gistok.ng/cuba-begins-food-rationing-as-country-plunges-deeper-into-economic-crisis/

Leave Cuba alone. And keep in mind Africa is a wrong place for anyone who want to wage a negative campaign against that country, and remember what Mandela once said << When we were in hell, Cuba comes to the rescue >>. 1 Like 1 Share |

OyinbowithaTan: In both socialism and capitalism, hard -working people are working for the lazy ones. In capitalism, the government makes you believe you are free and you own your house. They make you work and work to build or buy that house , but you will have to pay taxes to the government on it. The day you are out of money, the government takes away from you the very same house they said was your, and sells it at an auction. Not only that they raise tax on everything : gas, food, services, cars, appliances etc, after taking almost 40 % of your paycheck every pay period, through the tax system to give food stamps to lazy people and fund those single moms who have eight kids with eight different men. Then the system makes you work until the age of 65 or beyond , so that you don't have enough time benefit from your pension when you retire. 1 Like 1 Share |

panafrican:Yeah I am not a fan of real estate taxes especially. I don't think a government should be able to take a property for failure to pay taxes. |

dermmy:Batista was an evil dictator , wondering why the US did not overthrow him to forestall the Cuban revolution. |

panafrican: Fulgencio Batista government was pro US. The US gave the Batista regime military support and logistics during the war Fidel, Raul, Che and others launched on Sierra Maestra mountains why? Because US knew what it would lose should those guys take over power. After the revolution Fidel being a communist with marxist leaning nationalised all foreign companies in the country this further irked the US, the main reason CIA sponsored the bay of pigs invasion and escambray rebellion. All these counter revolutionary moves by US failed, sanctions followed to this day the country is yet to recover from those economic wars launched by the US. |

dermmy:Cuba's problem is they don't have money to buy imports. Farming/Agriculture is kinda obsolete there. Commercial farming there should be able to produce enough food to feed most of the country. But it doesn't exist. Dominican Rep companies and foreign companies produce plenty of food for the people, supermarkets etc. The 2 countries are almost identical regarding climate, soil etc. |
