jam | the touch

Hello friends.

This week we drew about jam, food, about foods that are increasingly hard to come by due to the stratospheric inflation we’re seeing. The prices of cans of oil and eggs seem to compete to break records or emulate brands of pork.

Queues and shelves with frequent products testify to the shortage. not even Stores in MLCScattered all over the country which is an epidemic for the pockets of most Cubans, they have good offerings.

Ensuring protein intake at the family table is a creative challenge It requires a lot of patience to overcome the endless queues or else you will have to fall prey to the promoters. Chicken and picadillo are repeated to the point of nausea on the week’s menu, less and less bread and prices for farm produce depicting the disaster of national agriculture.

Behind all this scarcity rears its head The incompetence of those who design and control the economy. compulsive regulators who ignore that without economic incentives there can be no competitive and innovative production; This made us More dependent on the outside.

To complete, the international context has become more turbulent, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine secured 29% of the world’s wheat production and Russia 19% of corn. Fuel prices have also gone up. None of this is a good sign for those who import most food.

We keep wandering the desert without finding the promised land.

Greetings and happy one.
