Rebalancing the Cuban Economy

Abstract

The restructuring of planning in Cuba and the political changes on which it is based apply to the operations of all sectors of the economy: agriculture as well as non-agriculture. State farms are treated in the same manner as industrial production units, and the new forms of operation should have similar impacts on all such units. The private operators in agriculture are, of course, separate entities. But they, too, as will be discussed below, are being affected by the planning changes.
