Agricultural and economic restructuring in Granma, Cuba

Overview

In Granma, Cuba, agricultural and economic efforts are being restructured to address resource scarcity and food security. The ‘Campaña de Frío’ winter planting season has begun, focusing on tuber and essential crop production across all 13 municipalities. Due to significant fuel shortages, the province is relying on animal traction, utilizing tens of thousands of oxen, mules, buffaloes, and horses to compensate for the lack of machinery. Authorities are also promoting organic fertilizers and bio-inputs to mitigate the scarcity of technological inputs.

Parallel to these agricultural efforts, provincial leadership is evaluating broader economic and social transformations. These measures aim to update the national economic model by increasing the autonomy of state-owned enterprises, implementing new labor incentives, and strengthening supply chains. Strategic goals include integrating state and private sectors and establishing interdependence among municipalities to reduce reliance on external inputs and resolve bottlenecks in food distribution.
