Cuba claims progress toward an agriculture based economy with expanded meat dairy and poultry output and aims for self sufficiency by 1980. Despite higher production rationing remains tight as sugar price shocks and Angola aid strain supplies. Officials tout dairy farms like Picadura and state stock drives, while American visitors report strong technical expertise and a national drive to modernize farming.
