Buff Dude + State Loans + Abandoned Land --> Feed Capitol's Development

"Estoy pegado a la tierra desde niño y aquí seguiré, con mi modesto aporte, para que La Habana pueda responder a los programas de desarrollo que tiene en marcha".

To experienced and capable farmers, the Cuban state is providing the use of forsaken land as well as credits for tools, fertilizer, and seed. The goal is to make efficient use of those willing and talented enough to raise a multitude of crops; to attain economies of scale instead of limiting productive agriculturalists to their original small plot, Soviet tractors, and grunting oxen.

The epigraphic farmer's quote reveals that the rural folks shall grow the crops that feed Havana, as it develops its industrial, medical, scientific, and human capital.

The metropolitan dwellers will have an outstanding debt to their rural compatriots for the foreseeable future.
