Government dumps mangoes into the river
rather than let the farmers sell it
HAVANA, July 27 (Moisés Leonardo
Rodríguez / www.cubanet.org) - Lack
of transportation has put a crimp on the
government's effort to distribute the current
mango crop, but peasants who grow it are
forbidden from selling their produce to
the people.
The result: No mangoes in the markets and
200 hundredweight of mangoes dumped into
the Saná River by the government,
who can't transport it to the markets.
As a matter of fact, says local human rights
activist Guillermo Llanes, this is the second
time the massive dump takes place. Government
officials had done the same last month.
