Decree-Law 17 “On the Implementation of the Monetary Ordering Process”, dated November 24, 2020, establishes the monetary and exchange rate unification.
In accordance with the above and in compliance with the recently approved policy of commercialization of agricultural products, the Governor of Havana, by means of Resolution 19 of 2020, approved the purchase prices to the producer, the wholesale prices and the maximum retail prices in Cuban pesos (CUP) of the first quality agricultural products in all the commercialization network of Havana that are commercialized by all the forms of state and non-state management, as of January 1, 2021.
Approved in the resolution itself, in the case of benefited and packaged products, up to 20% above the approved retail price will be applied, and when benefited products are cut and packaged, up to 50% above the approved retail price will be applied, empowering the mayors to approve the network that will market these products.
In approving the prices, the intention was to stimulate the income of producers as the main link in the production and marketing chain, with an increase of between 2 and 3.5 times the current prices.
Maximum retail prices of first quality agricultural products in the entire marketing network of Havana that are marketed by all forms of state and non-state management.
