    Yes, the embargo is harmful but that’s not what I’m curious about.

    That’s why I asked specifically about agriculture. There are plenty of examples of people sustaining their own food needs with minimal technology. Without industrial equipment or inputs, there may be a need for more human labor but it should still be doable.

    My sense is that the embargo provides a convenient excuse to blame external conditions for the failings of a flawed, authoritarian production model. But I am really not very knowledgeable about Cuba so I am open to being convinced.
