In the midst of the food crisis on the island, dozens of Cubans lamented the loss of several boxes of eggs after they accidentally fell from a truck in Sancti Spíritus.
The event occurred at 05:00 pm on Monday in Circunvalación and Carretera Central, and was described by Iván Domínguez's profile on Facebook as "The disaster of the year" in the current Cuban context.
He explains that when the truck, which was traveling on the Central Highway, turned right to join the southern ring road, one of the straps that secured the load came loose, causingthe dropping of eggs.
Likewise, he posted images showing CAN workers trying to recover the intact eggs.
This loss occurs in the midst of a deepfood crisis on the island. The Sancti Spíritus poultry company reported in January that it was promoting the breeding of semi-rustic chickens and quails to make up for the shortage of eggs in the territory.
According to the report, in one poultry production unit – the Jíquima – between 38,500 and 38,700 birds are served, providing an average of 8,500 eggs daily.
However, this figure is not enough to guarantee the entire demand in that province.
The price of eggs in Cuba has risen dramatically amid widespread shortages and is around 2,000 pesos on the black market.
In November of last year, images circulated of dozens of Cubans collecting eggs that had fallen from a truck in the San Miguel del Padrón municipality, in Havana.
