Ban on transportation of pigs increases
price of pork
CAMAGUEY, Cuba, April 6 (Fernando Tabares
/ www.cubanet.org) - A government ban on
the transportation of pigs has increased
the price of pork in eastern Cuba.
The ban was imposed in an attempt to stop
the sale of pork in private markets in this
provincial capital. Since then, the shortage
of pork has caused the price to reach a
record 25 pesos a pound.
Pork is not available at government stores
where it is covered by a ration book.
