Sources: 4. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-01: Granma authorities evaluate economic and social transformations Authorities in Granma, Cuba, are implementing economic transformations to update the national model, focusing on food production, supply chain integration, and increased autonomy for state enterprises. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/granma-entities-debate-cubas-176-economic-and-social-transformations ### 2026-08-31: Granma launches winter planting campaign amid fuel shortages Cuba has launched its winter planting campaign in Granma, utilizing oxen, mules, and horses to overcome fuel shortages and ensure the production of essential food crops through February. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/granma-launches-winter-planting-campaign-amid-fuel-shortages --- Cite as: Agricultural and economic restructuring in Granma, Cuba.
