The Cuban sugar economy is the principal agricultural economy in Cuba. In two years after World War II, the price of sugar in Cuba went from 4 cents a pound to more than 20 cents a pound. It soon experienced a bust as the European economy reprospered after the war, and its prices went below four cents, causing ruin to many sugar farmers.〔Martin p. 372〕 It was subject of a reciprocal trade pact with the Soviet Union. In 1970 Fidel Castro's panic became the rush for an unattained 10 million ton harvest of sugar cane. Although it was a record, it was not sufficient in sustaining the Cuban economy at a moderate level, it would be years before the Cubans would cease to feel the sting.〔Martin p. 429〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuban sugar economy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
