Cubans are tired of the high prices in the country and if pork was missing a few months ago, now its price is almost prohibitive in provinces like Holguín.
“Average 440 to 460 pesos, excessive,” responded a Cuban to the question “might someone tell me how is the pork in Holguín.”
“There are questions that are not asked and answers that are not given for fear of a heart attack,” said a citizen this Thursday on Facebook.
“Uff, very expensive: 450 to cut, 600 clean, MSMEs 440 clean but you have to be a hero to catch it, six hours in a queue. And thank you that it reaches because between the palates and the resellers they take it all”.
“At the moment it is at 480 and 500 pesos and for Mother’s Day the roast was sold at 900 a pound and all raw, full of blood.”
“It’s like the Mexican song. ‘You and the clouds drive me crazy, you and the clouds are going to kill me. I look up very little and she doesn’t know how to look down,’” expressed a Cuban woman.
Some Cubans said that it is also very expensive in other provinces. “Killings from 480 to 500”; “Camagüey at 500” and “this country is full of schizophrenics, paranoids. Here in Niquero, when it appears, it is 400 pesos. I repeat: if he appears ”.
“In Cienfuegos it is between 350 and 400 and nobody looks at it. The salaries do not even stretch like chewing gum. Everything is out of reach for those of us who work and those who depend on a checkbook.”
“In Havana, the same is very expensive: a pound of smoked meat is 500 pesos, a pound of white cheese is 450. This does not stop. I don’t know how far we’re going to go.”
In Guantánamo it is also regarding 400 pesos. “In Guantánamo, Palenque, at 400” and “430”.
A Cuban pointed out that he stopped raising pigs because he mightn’t afford it. “I had to stop raising pigs because food doesn’t appear and what a pig needs to raise is a lot. When you come to see, even if you sell a pound at 500, you hardly earn anything. That is why I am only raised for my house, so as not to have to sell it at that exorbitant price, but the fact is that the State is the first to sell you feed, flea honey, etc., very expensive”
“That’s how it is with everything. If the rice is 200 pesos, the oil is 1,200, the pound 600. I myself earn 2,300 pesos a month, what do I buy? How long is this?” asked a Cuban.
