The Cuban government's retail food network
is selling eggs out of cases clearly labeled
"Florida produce" at 1.50 pesos
each, underselling those who used to resell
eggs at 2 pesos in the local underground
economy.
The grade A, large eggs come from the Tampa
Farm Service, in Dover, Florida, in cases
of 360 each, with an expiration date of
February 28, 2005.
Recently, the same government food retail
establishments have offered for sale, under
the government's ration card, chicken thighs
by Tyson Foods, of Arkansas, and retail
establishments of the La Cadena chain have
offered chicken at 23 pesos a pound, non-rationed
price, and ground beef from Peco Foods.
