7 pounds of rice in Cuba that almost never arrive complete to the island's warehouses
This situation is repeated in other regions of the country, where distribution has been affected by delays in the arrival of imports and logistical problems, such as fuel and labor shortages. Cases of corruption in warehouses have also been reported.
In addition, the lack of meat products, oil and coffee in the basic basket has aggravated the food crisis on the island, generating growing concern.cupaction among the population.
The MINCIN's economic and operational difficulties in supplying rice and other basic food basket products continue to affect regular food distribution in the country.

Well, I would like to know why, if they say they will distribute the 7 pounds of rice corresponding to the month of January and then the 7 pounds corresponding to the month of February, in the municipality of Trinidad they are only giving out 2 pounds?
January 22th and the three remaining in December, I think they calculated incorrectly but it's February 17nd and nothing, doing the calculations I think it's 3 pounds, unless the remaining XNUMX in December, as happens with almost everything in this country, are no longer available?
I would like to know if the two pounds of rice donation here in GTM has to do with the basic basket for January, because that's always the case. The authorities say one thing, and in this province they do whatever they want and include the donation in the basket, and that's always the case. I would like someone to clarify this for me.
Sadly here in Ciego de Avila, on January 1st they gave two pounds of rice for December, where are the other three and missing January and February.
The Cuban government and state strive to ensure things are done quickly and transparently, but divine corruption rules. That's why these things happen.
and the remaining 3 from December in wineries in Sancti Spiritus.
We need to know when the distribution of the 7 lb January and 7 lb February rice will begin in Havana because we cannot continue paying 300 and 350 pesos for a lb of rice. It is unsustainable in the situation our people are in due to the lack of food.
Thank goodness we live off our beloved history, we eat from months of the past, and it seems that the lunar year of MINCIN is already beginning.
Stop giving a good life to those who do it together with the family and preocuprise for a humble and sacrificial people, the Sun rose for all and it is demonstrated and witnessed with humility through love of neighbor.
All money is allocated to urgent needs: food, medicine, etc. Donations also arrive from many countries. Please respect them. They are free and arrive sealed for the entire population, that is, by inhabitant. Take the path by which you donate. Have a humble, tender, pure, and loving heart for these brave people, so that they may see the light of the Sun like others. You have to have a hardened heart not to realize, or not want to realize, what human beings go through when they have no other way out but to endure. The will to do something must prevail.
It is important that the country's leadership purchase this precious product on time so that it is not missing in the corresponding month and that this result generates an obligation for merchants to lower the price since not everyone can afford to buy. It is also important that distributions for donations are not violated, THAT IS, that the bags where the donations come are not opened. For example, in BARACOA, they opened the bag of rice to sell it in bulk. On the second day of delivery, they already gave it unopened. This demonstrates the lack of respect and the violation of this product that the producer who donated does or did. This violates WHO regulations, I believe. Please.

They are not interested in the needs of the people. You take it and leave it enough for me to take it to the warehouse. They don't have to pay more than 300 pesos.
Hello, unfortunately the only place where things are good is in the news, because we ordinary Cubans continue to suffer hardships, Fidel was the only one who cared.cupaba for us, no one else
Don't be so cheeky, a pound is what you're giving
In Mayabeque they only gave one pound of rice and according to you it was 2 and two pounds of mini potatoes and it was three. I don't understand why they say one thing and then it's another.
Just today 2 lb of rice arrived at the warehouse where are the other 5 lb and 2 lb of sugar but no one knows what month they are from because here they mark you wherever they want and they tell you that's how it came and don't go protest because they eat you alive just like when they steal from you on the scale they shamelessly tell you how they are going to live then you see how they come out with bags, backpacks and gallons full and none of them buy from that warehouse because they don't live around here but they even fill gallons of children's milk and take them out as if nothing is happening you even look at them and they laugh why don't they hide to do anything
What a great ACHIEVEMENT, after 66 years of failed communism!
Those dictators have no shame.
It's not a favor, it's a responsibility that only concerns the Minister, that no one touches anything, only I can touch, they said in the 60s and until now there is no one else authorized to do this in the country?
