Food distribution delayed in Camagüey town
CAMAGUEY, Cuba - June 7 (Fernando Tabares
/ www.cubanet.org) - The townspeople of
La Gloria, a settlement about 30 miles from
the capital city of Camagüey province,
say their allotment of foodstuffs under
the government's rationing system had not
come through as of June 3. The food is expected
to be put on sale by the first of the month.
The items available under the quota are
5 pounds of rice, half a pound of beans,
half a pound of oil, salt and sugar.
The man in charge of distribution for the
government's Foodstuffs Wholesale Enterprise
of Camagüey said in a radio interview
that the company doesn't have tarps or covers
to protect the food from the frequent rains
and encouraged the residents to provide
them.
Indeed, the area delegate said that every
year there are delays in food distribution
during the rainy season.
