HAVANA, March 28 (Moraima Pires, Grupo Decoro) - The "Antonio Verdoña" State-run agricultural co-op in Matanzas province is bankrupt.

Its 68 workers haven't been paid in a month because there are no funds. The co-op is drowning in debt and what little money comes in is used to amortize it, according to a knowledgeable source.

Eighteen of the workers have said that if the situation doesn't change soon they will not continue working. "Actual conditions are very uncertain," said one of the workers.

"This company is not viable. The economic activity of this co-op is almost nil," said another worker.
