No milk sold in Santiago

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba - February 4 (Lisette Bravo, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - Government outlets did not have milk to sell under the rationing quota between January 25 and 30, explaining there was no milk in the province.

The milk at controlled prices is only sold for children up to age 7 and for the old and those with a prescription from a doctor.

Milk could be had at the dollar stores, so called because the operate only in hard currency. A kilogram (2.2 pounds) of powdered milk goes for 5.20 dollars, about half of the average monthly salary.
