Irregular distribution of dairy products
irks consumers
RANCHUELO, Cuba, September 19 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Irregularities
in the distribution of dairy products these
past two weeks irked consumers in Ranchuelo,
Villa Clara province.
An employee of the local commercial enterprise
who gave her name as Elisa said breakdowns
in the Santa Clara plant led to the vagaries
in the distribution of yogurt that is usually
sold on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Notwithstanding, about 600 units of the
yogurt normally supplied to children at
one peso per in grocery stores, showed up
at three pesos in the Los Pinos cafeteria.
Irked parents said: "Government officials
don't care about the children. They don't
have sugar water for breakfast."
The chronically low yields of the dairy
herd have obligated the government to ration
milk and milk products for the last 10 years.
