Reforming Cuban Agriculture

Abstract

This article focuses on the two major reforms undertaken in the Cuban agricultural sector during 1993 and 1994: the re‐organization of the state farm sector into worker‐managed production co‐operatives and the opening of free agricultural markets for above‐plan production. It is argued that the Cuban agricultural sector is now characterized by multiple forms of organization of production and land tenure or a ‘mixed economy’, and that the two reforms have produced a turn‐around in agricultural performance. Still, the macro‐economic impact is likely to depend on a deepening of the reforms in two directions: the development of a free market in agricultural inputs and a reform of the food rationing system.
