MADRID, Spain.- The Cuban government reported this Tuesday that ¡Hola! coffee, sold in the country’s warehouses through the supply book, increased its price.
According to the Ministry of Finance and Prices, it is due to a “notable” increase in the prices of inputs and raw materials for the production of this product in the international market.
For this reason, “CECM Agreement 9401 was approved on August 31, 2022, which provided for the increase in coffee collection prices to producers, which affects the growth of the costs of industrial processing and marketing of this product. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the retail price of blended coffee from 8.00 CUP to 11.00 CUP,” he said. Cubadebate.
The delivery of the regulated quota for the month of October that takes place in November will maintain the price of 8.00 CUP, added the official media.
The assisted pensioners who currently receive a monetary benefit for the acquisition of the regulated family basket, will be given the 3 pesos of the aforementioned increase, “under the socialist principle that no one is left homeless,” says the regime when a large part of the population lives in conditions above the poverty line.
“But this product should not be affected by the increase in the price of coffee in the world market, because coffee IS NOT. If they tell me that the price of peas or nylon has risen, I believe it, ”he commented in the publication of Cubadebate a user identified as Sergo.
While another Internet user, also referring to the poor quality of the mixed coffee sold in the warehouses, wrote: “Is the added value of the pea charged?
Let’s really be honest, don’t call this pea mix coffee. Perhaps if it were not mixed, its cost would be lower”.
