Another great victory for socialism and the Democratic way!
Sounds like they have upped their Rum manufacturing....
If socialists were in charge of thr Sahara they would run out of sand in five years.
Their cigar industry will not likely recover from communism any time soon, either.
Amazing isn’t it? Sadly amazing.
A communist paradise which has produced so much sugar for export, now needs to import the product which their country used to produce in huge quantity.
I know the liberal view is that Cuba is so poor because of our trade embargo policies.
But, how would a trade embargo cause their agricultural production including sugar, to drop off ?? If communism is so superior, why aren’t the happy workers in the worker’s paradise more productive????
America should have taken over Cuba when we had a chance but Kennedy was inept and Castro punked us.
Fidel preferred to sprinkle gunpowder on his cereals instead of sugar.
Odd how often commie hellholes have 'bad harvests'.../s
Under their system no matter how much harder and smarter you work, your reward does not increase. So why bother? That’s why socialism/communism always fails.

“Sugar used to account for the vast majority of Cuba’s exports. . . . changed everything, as did a lack of investment in seeds, fertilizer and pesticides.”
Sugar cane is propagated by the stalk/cane not seeds.
