  • As suggested by this streetscape in Old Havana (the old city harbor) vintage vehicles are a regular mode of transportation throughout Cuba. Since 1962, the U.S. trade blockade has effectively prevented any new cars from arriving. But even though a few auto dealers in Europe and Russia are willing to defy the blockade and the attendant U.S. sanctions, not many Cubans have the money to buy new vehicles. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 99).

  • Buyers wait for their meat purchases in the Agromercado open agricultural market. A sign of the government's willingness to experiment with modest levels of free enterprise in the 1990s, the markets may not exist for much longer. In 2004 and 2005, Castro reined back the number of farmers allowed to work for themselves, stopped issuing many types of licenses for self-employment, and eliminated all traffic in U.S. dollars. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 103).

  • (MODEL RELEASED) Cuban families receive ration cards that in theory let them obtain all their food staples at astonishingly low, state-subsidized prices. In practice, the cards don't quite cover everything, so Cubans must venture into the vastly more expensive agromercados, open markets that sell products from the few government-sanctioned private farms and surpluses from cooperative farms that have fulfilled their state quotas. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 102).
