FROM
CUBA
Plantains lost for lack of transportation
HOLGUIN, Cuba - July 26 (Liannis Meriño
Aguilera, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- More than 100 hundredweight of plantains
went bad in government warehouses in Banes
while the government agency in charge of
collecting farmers' produce searched for
a means of transporting them to market.
Local residents bitterly complained when
they learned about the loss during a period
of scarcity.
Workers of Acopio, the agency that collects
produce from farmers, said the occurrence
is common, as the means of transportation
that are available are overused.
