00:00 My name is Angel Yuden Garcia Pedroso. I work as a small farmer with a farmer.
00:06 And the situation here in Cuba, working with the farmer, is very bad.
00:12 Because, unfortunately, we have nothing.
00:16 And we lose things, there are no instruments, everything is very expensive.
00:24 Like the boots, like this pair of boots that I have, which unfortunately cost more than 2,000 pesos.
00:32 And I buy the boots, which cost 2,500 pesos, I can't eat because we don't have food.
00:39 What they pay us is 1,000 pesos.
00:41 And there are times when you can't work with them, because unfortunately,
00:47 the government doesn't pay them, and when they do, they pay them 4, 5, 6 months later.
00:59 And unfortunately, I eat daily.
01:02 And I need money for my daily expenses, because the situation is very bad, very bad.
01:09 A lime costs 2,500 pesos.
01:12 A guataca without a box costs 5,000 pesos.
01:16 Machetes cost 1,500, 1,700, 1,800.
01:20 There are no instruments.
01:22 When you go to the seed bank, unfortunately, the seeds cost too much.
01:27 They don't give us fertilizers, because fertilizers are very expensive,
01:31 the government charges us too much.
01:36 We don't have to go to the field because we don't have oil.
01:41 And then you have to pay the oil gallon to 5,000, 7,000, 8,000 pesos.
01:46 Let me ask you a question.
01:48 Before, did you put a transport when you went to the field to work?
01:51 Before, we had transport to work.
01:53 Now, what is the expense you have to make to move to the field?
01:57 Unfortunately, we have to make a huge expense, because a gallon, a can of oil costs 5,000, 8,000 pesos.
02:05 I have to pay 1,500 pesos to go to the field.
02:14 I have to pay 500 pesos for transport and take the lunch from my house
02:23 so that the rest of the money is left to survive the days I have to work.
02:32 So, you earn 1,000 pesos a day.
02:35 You have to invest 500 pesos in transport to survive the remaining 500 pesos.
02:41 That's why you have to work all day with the peasant.
02:43 Without lunch. They don't give you lunch or lunch.
02:45 No, they don't give us lunch.
02:47 And before?
02:48 Before, they did give us lunch.
02:50 What perspective do you think would be good for the peasant?
02:53 That they give us the freedom to sell to the people and sell abroad.
02:56 And so the economy of this country could be raised.
02:59 That's the only perspective that a peasant can have in our country.
03:03 in another way.
