What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Cuban woman reported that a private micro, small or medium-sized enterprise charged 200 pesos per scoop of ice cream. This contrasted sharply with the 45 pesos per scoop that the family had paid for state-produced ice cream the previous day. The total cost for ten scoops amounted to 2,000 pesos.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The situation highlights a growing contradiction in Cuba where the cost of goods and services is diverging from the earnings of much of the population. The average state salary in Cuba was 7,354 pesos per month as of August, meaning a single 200-peso scoop accounts for about 2.7% of that wage.

The ice cream parlor is located in Matanzas, a province of Cuba.
