Cuban Agriculture
Cuban agriculture primarily focuses on the cultivation of sugarcane, tobacco, and coffee. The country's warm climate and fertile soil make it suitable for these crops, which are vital to its economy. Sugarcane, in particular, has historically been a major export, while Cuban tobacco is renowned for producing high-quality cigars.
In recent years, the government has encouraged diversification in agriculture to improve food security. This includes promoting the growth of fruits, vegetables, and livestock. Additionally, the use of organic farming practices has increased, aiming to reduce reliance on imported fertilizers and pesticides, thus enhancing sustainability in Cuban farming.
