Residents praise peddlers
RANCHUELO, Cuba, November 27 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Residents of
Ranchuelo praised street peddlers in the
municipality for supplying potatoes to consumers
where the official distribution system fails.
The peddlers, who are self-employed and
thus illegal, transport the potatoes in
from Cienfuegos and Havana, and peddle them
daily on top of hand carts in the streets.
They typically pack the potatoes in different-sized
containers priced at five, eight, and ten
pesos.
The official food supply system has only
offered for sale two pounds of potatoes
per person since the beginning of the year.
