14ymedio bigger14ymedio, Havana, 5 January 2016 — During the last week of the year and the first days of the 2016, Cuban families have received their ration booklets to access the rationed food system in place since 1962.

Despite strong rumors predicting the end of the rationed market, the fact is that it still stands, albeit with a considerable decrease in the numbers of products and increases in the prices of many of them.
