The Cuban government again imposed price caps on some imported foods, heeding warnings from businessmen that this would lead to the halting of their activities, The Miami Herald reported.
Chicken, powdered milk, pasta and other essentials are among the goods reached by the measure, published in the Cuban Gazette. Specifically, it says that the price of chicken parts sold to consumers cannot be higher than 680 Cuban pesos per kilogram, even though wholesale prices are over 700 pesos and a kilogram of chicken thighs can cost over 900 in a private store.
