The island nation Cuba once ranked as the top two nutritional nations in Latin America. But now I suffer from food crisis. Considered by most to be better-living cities than rural areas in Latin America, Cuba does not stand in stark contrast to it. Products that satisfy basic nutrition even if there is a lack of food supplies in the cities where residents rely, the small farmers who in Cuba have cereals and staple foods as their staple food. I visited Havana in October and in May 1998, I went to the store. But the shelf was almost empty. It was possible to buy the product at the farmers' market in the Havana suburb, but people who depend on Cuba's local currency had to complain that "it's too expensive," he said. Only lucky people who have access to their own foreign currency can afford to put the additional earnings into their diet. Pre-revolutionary Cuba had imported most of its food from the United States. After the 1959 revolution, food shortages became a certainty due to declining domestic agricultural production and reduced food imports. However, the new government of Cuba, promising food to all people, in 1961 had provided the food rationing system with a certain price at a low price. Even after the breakdown of relations with the United States, Cuba was able to enjoy very favorable trade conditions with the Soviet Union. In 1987, 63 percent of all food imports and more than 80 percent of foreign trade came from the Soviet bloc. However, a serious economic crisis manifested itself with the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989. The decline in imports essential for agricultural production is the reason for the former, but domestic food production was reduced by 40%. Food distribution has decreased, protein intake has also been red... middle of paper... on the other hand, imports from other countries are also in the way. Oxfam, convinced that current US policy has exacerbated the Cuban crisis, is actively promoting legislation to exclude the sale of food and medicines from the embargo. These are two efforts on behalf of girls, the Senate Cuba Cuba bill and the trade democratization bills proposed in the House of Representatives, which loosen the ban on the sale of food and medicine in the United States against Cuba. Experiments in food production and sustainable ecological, Cuba, offers an alternative model that can be applied anywhere in the world. Oxfam hopes that by supporting community practice and lobbying for change in US policy, this will correspond to the current Cuban crisis and not in the future. .
