Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, first secretary of the Party in Santiago de Cuba, announced in her profile of Facebookwhich at Starting at noon this Thursday, the "7 pounds of rice corresponding to January will be distributed, followed by the 7 pounds of rice for the month of February".

"More than 60 trucks will guarantee, daily, the distribution to the different warehouses," added the communist leader after huge delays in the eastern territory, something that is multiplied throughout the island, due to the enormous logistic problems and fuel shortages, among others.
For example, this week MINCIN reported that in provinces such as Mayabeque, it was not possible to complete the delivery of seven pounds of rice corresponding to December and January, due to the lack of availability of the product in the warehouses.
Rice distribution in Cuba faces significant delays due to a combination of financial, logistical and operational factors.
However, since Domestic Trade assured that "the commitment is to guarantee the supply of these 7 pounds of rice to the entire population".

"Only in the third world where you live is it a great achievement that rice is distributed, dirty rice full of stones, in the first world I buy the amount of rice I want," said a user about the delivery of the 7 pounds of rice in Cuba, pending in January and February.

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. There have also been reports of corruption in warehouses.

  1. Well, I would like to know why if they say that they will distribute the 7 pounds of rice for the month of January and then the 7 pounds for the month of February in the municipality of Trinidad they are only giving 2 pounds?

  2. seven from January and the three missing from December, I think they got the account wrong but we are at February 22nd and I think it is 17 pounds, unless the three missing from December, as it happens with almost everything in this country, are no longer given ?

  5. The Cuban government and the Cuban state make an effort to do things in a quick and transparent way, but the divine corruption is in charge, that's why these things happen.

  6. We need to know when the distribution of the 7 lbs January and 7 lbs February will begin in Havana because we can not continue paying rice at 300 and 350 pesos for a pound of rice is unsustainable in the situation that our people are in due to the lack of food.

  7. To stop giving the good life to those who make it together with the family and to worry about a humble and sacrificed people, the Sun rose for all and it is demonstrated and witnessed with humility for the love to the neighbor.
    All the money is destined to the imperative needs, food, medicines, etc. In addition, donations from many countries arrive, be respected, they do not cost and arrive sealed for the entire population, that is, for the inhabitants, take the path by which they are donated, have a humble, tender, pure, loving heart for these hardened people, who can see the light of the Sun as others do. It is necessary to have a hardened heart not to realize or not to want to realize what human beings go through, who have no other way out but to endure. The will to do must prevail.

  8. It is important that the country's management buys this precious product in time so that it is not lacking in the corresponding month and that this result generates an obligation for the merchants to lower the price, since not all people can afford to buy it. ALSO, it is important not to violate the distribution of donations, i.e., do not open the bags where the donations come, for example, in: BARACOA opened the bag of rice to sell it in bulk, the second day of delivery and gave it without opening it, this shows the lack of respect and violation of this product that makes or made. the producer who donated. This violates WHO regulations, I consider. Please.

  11. Just today 2lb of rice arrived at the warehouse where the other 5lb and 2lb of sugar are but you don't even know what month they are from because here they mark you wherever they want and tell you that's how it came and don't go to protest because they eat you alive just like when they rob you at the scale they tell you shamelessly that they are going to live on the scale. They are shamelessly telling you how they are going to live and then you see how they leave with jabas backpacks and gallons full and none of them buy in that warehouse because they don't live around here but even gallons of children's milk they fill them and take them out as if nothing happened, nothing happens, you can even see them laughing because they don't hide to do anything.
