Breakages and shortage of state bread in Cuba for Christmas
It doesn’t just happen in Havana. One of the causes of the lack of bread in the province of Guantánamo is the lack of wheat flour, according to the official media Venceremos. The Commercial Director of the Food Industry in that province, Dargis Serret Bairut, explained that for three months flour from Havana and Cienfuegos has not been received frequently, which makes it difficult to meet the daily demand for the basic product.
According to Serret Bairut, when the flour arrives it is immediately distributed to all the municipalities, but the production process lasts about 8 hours, which generates delays in the marketing of the bread in some points of sale.
The Commercial Director also said that the government is looking for alternatives with MSMEs to relocate workers in the state food sector, given the shortage of wheat flour.
This is what happens every month, and not only in Guantanamo, but throughout the national territory, including the capital of Cuba. And it seems that by 2024 the situation will not change, at least according to the speeches and the government’s “economic package”, which contemplates reductions in some subsidies and an increase in the price of electricity for those who consume the most, water and fuel. .
