Outside Havana, a combine belonging to a private Vietnamese company is harvesting rice, directly farming Cuban land -- in a first -- to help address acute food shortages in the country.
The Cuban government has granted Agri VAM, a subsidiary of Vietnam's Fujinuco Group, 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres) of arable land in Los Palacios, 118 kilometers (73 miles) west of the capital.
