Cuba’s agriculture-based development strategy of the 1960s ran into difficulties early on. Except for the first year of the new strategy’s implementation, 1965, the targets for sugar production were not attained (see Table 16.1). Indeed, 1966 and 1969 were poor sugar-production years by historical standards, let alone the standards of the plan. The 1970 harvest was in fact a record harvest of 8.5 million tons—18 per cent higher than the previous peak—but it was far short of the targeted 10 million.
