Every tobacco plantation is committed to sell 90% of the harvest leaves to the government for prearranged rate. The rest 10%, can be sold for their own price.
The average Cuban salary is about $29,60 per month. After the calculation, the hourly wage is 18,5 cents per hour. . Cuban food is influenced by Spanish, Aboriginal, African and Caribbean cuisine. It is based on rice, beans and tostones (smashed and fried pieces of green plantain). The typical dishes are moros y cristianos (black beans and rice), creole ajiaco (soup based on smoked meat and native vegetables), ropa vieja (shredded beef).
