Cuba eliminates stumbling blocks in agricultural commerce
The government makes flexible non-state agricultural producers’ access to the market and does away with a large number of bureaucratic posts in the Agriculture Ministry.
After testing it in three provinces, the government announced last July the elimination of the entity known as Acopio (produce collecting centre), a business group in charge of distributing agricultural productions, cursed for its inefficiency by farmers as well as by consumers. With this step, the Agriculture Ministry (MINAGRI) is advancing toward the de-bureaucratisation of the sector by doing away with more than 60,000 office posts.
