The socialist government of Cuba in the face of a prolonged supply crisis rations of food and hygiene items to arranged. To blame the US Embargo. But experts doubt that.
in view of the worsening supply crisis in Cuba, the socialist government wants to kidneys in the future, food and hygiene items ratio. Among other things, Cubans are likely to chicken now, rice, eggs, beans, sausage, soap, detergent and toothpaste in defined quantities to buy, said trade Minister Betsy Díaz.
the aim was a “fair and reasonable” allocation of scarce products in the population. The government in Havana made the recent tightening of the U.S. embargo against Cuba for the supply shortages are responsible. Economic experts see the reason rather in the weakness of its own production and the dependence on close ally Venezuela.
The socialist Caribbean island receives Venezuelan Oil in exchange for the services of expatriate Doctors. This Oil sold to Cuba on the world market and procured as foreign exchange. Due to the severe crisis in Venezuela, the Oil supply will have halved, however, to 50,000 barrels (each 159 litres) per day.
