The agrifood sector today: Pork meat remains above 1,100 pesos per pound in Havana.

Pork meat remains above 1,100 pesos per pound in Havana, amid the inflation affecting the country.

The prices of food and agricultural products in Cuba's agros continue to trend upwards, with a special emphasis on pork meat. This meat is the favorite of most Cubans, but they have had to stop buying it.

Last summer, pork meat cost 550 pesos per pound. Time has passed and the new prices are alarming for consumers.

The pork chops and steak are priced at 1,150 pesos per pound. The pork loin and leg are held at 780 pesos per pound.

The minimum wage decreed after the "economic reorganization" in Cuba is 2,100 CUP. Many workers cannot afford to bring home three pounds of pork for a family lunch.

The rise in prices at the markets in Havana reflects the serious economic crisis facing the country, where salaries fail to cover the basic needs of the population.

Given this situation, it is urgent to implement effective measures to control inflation and ensure the people's access to essential products at reasonable prices.

The community eagerly awaits solutions that will alleviate the economic burden and improve the quality of life of citizens amid this prolonged crisis, but the regime continues to fail to provide solutions.
