Sugar
shortage causes soft drink plant to cut
production in Cuba 2q4d5a
HAVANA, November 14 (cubanet.sergipeconectado.com)
- Latinoamericana, one of the largest soft
drink companies in Cuba, has been forced
to cut production because of a shortage
of sugar, according to employees.
Once a leading exporter of sugar, Cuba
has been faced with shortages because of
poor crops and antiquated mills, many of
which have been closed down.
"We're only doing part of our production,"
said an employee questioned by telephone.
The plant, located in the Cerro district
of Havana, was the Canada Dry plant in pre-revolutionary
Cuba.
