Cuban Farms Shift from Tractors to Oxen Amid Fuel Crisis

16 Temmuz 2026Japan Times

Cuba is experiencing a severe energy crisis exacerbated by a fuel blockade imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
As a result, many farms are turning away from tractors and machinery, opting instead for traditional methods using oxen. This shift reflects the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in adapting to fuel shortages and the broader implications for food production in the country.
Cuba's energy crisis is rooted in a combination of external pressures, including the U.S. embargo, and internal economic challenges.
The transition from tractors to oxen on Cuban farms highlights the resilience and adaptability of farmers in the face of adversity. However, it also underscores the significant impact of geopolitical decisions on local economies and food security.
