The Economics of Cuban Sugar (Pitt Latin American Series)

by Jorge F. Pérez-López

Book Overview

What is the role of sugar in today's Cuba? Why cannot Cuba meet its production goals, despite substantial investment in new equipment and mechanizations? How does Cuba benefit from the patronage of the Soviet Union, and how long can this relationship endure? Why is Cuba planning to expand its sugar output by 20 percent in the next decade when other sugar-producing countries are attempting to avoid overdependence on one crop?
