While the communist Castro dictatorship appears to have plenty of cash to build luxury apartheid hotels for foreign tourists, it doesn’t have enough cash to pay for the milk produced by Cuba’s dairy farmers. According to the Castro regime’s own officials, it has been six months since Cuban dairy farmers have been paid.
Ailén Carbonell Izquierdo, president of the Domingo Lara Credit and Services Cooperative (CCS) in Manicaragua, has raised concerns about the prolonged non-payment to farmers for their milk deliveries.
According to a report by journalist Jesús Álvarez López from the state-run radio station CMHW, Carbonell expressed her frustration and anxiety regarding the situation faced by her producers since January. “My farmers have been delivering milk beyond their planned quota since January, and yet, six months later, they still haven’t been paid for the surplus,” Carbonell stated.
Despite the Dairy Industry and Trade Company (ECIL) allocating the funds, the bank has not made the money available, exacerbating the issue by also withholding payments for milk delivered from June to the present.
