Cuba's Blockade Costs Hundreds of Millions in Plexes Dollars
The Cuban premier Fidel Castro says the U.S. blockade costs Cuba hundreds of millions of pesos due to transport and hard currency shortages, with Western trade totaling about 320 million dollars in 1967. Russia dominates bloc trade with about 930 million dollars yearly, while Spain and Red China trail as leading noncommunist and communist partners. The article notes Cuba continues major imports on credit and cites new industrial projects funded with foreign guarantees, including a 44 million dollar fertilizer plant.
