https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Cuba#Agriculture Agriculture Cuba produces sugarcane, tobacco, citrus, coffee, rice, potatoes, beans and livestock.[84] As of 2015, Cuba imported about 70–80% of its food[89] and 80–84% of the food it rations to the public.[90] Raúl Castro ridiculed the bureaucracy that shackled the agriculture sector.[90]
Industry Pumpjacks in Cuba In total, industrial production accounted for almost 37% of Cuban GDP, or US$6.9 billion and employed 24% of the population, or 2,671,000 people, in 1996.[91] A rally in sugar prices in 2009 stimulated investment and development of sugar processing.
In 2003 Cuba's biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry was gaining in importance.[92] Among the products sold internationally are vaccines against various viral and bacterial pathogens. For example, the drug Heberprot-P was developed as a cure for diabetic foot ulcer and had success in many developing countries.[93] Cuba has also done pioneering work on the development of drugs for cancer treatment.[94]
Scientists such as V. Verez-Bencomo were awarded international prizes for their contributions in biotechnology and sugar cane.
