Cuba historically has received the majority of its national income from the production of commodities. Unfortunately, world prices for sugar and nickel continue to be in a slump and Cuba has decided to close many of its sugar mills and retrain its workforce for the tourism industry as well as high technology and biotechnology.

Cuba produces the following items for global markets: sugar, nickel, tobacco, fish, medical products, citrus, and coffee. For more information on Cuban gross national production, please email CaliforniaCuba.
