Earlier Report Observations

Sweet potato production in Cuba experienced a substantial decline from 549.5 thousand tons in 2018 to 231.3 thousand tons in 2023. After a drop to 484.1 thousand tons in 2019, output fell sharply to 302.6 thousand tons in 2020. A modest recovery to 318.5 thousand tons occurred in 2021, but the downward trend resumed with volumes reaching 267.1 thousand tons in 2022 and 231.3 thousand tons in 2023.

In 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture issued Resolution 27/2024 to regulate the import of plants and plant products, including sweet potatoes, aiming to protect the country's phytosanitary status. The government also implemented temporary maximum retail price controls for high-demand basic goods and introduced new rules for profit limits and tariff exemptions. Persistent challenges such as shortages of agricultural inputs like fertilizers and fuels continued to affect the sector.
