HAVANA (Reuters) - Communist Cuba has begun offering private farmers
equipment and other resources on credit along with more land, as President
Raul Castro seeks to reform agriculture by loosening the state's grip.
Just days after a government decree authorizing land grants to farmers, they
are being called to meetings and asked what machinery and other inputs they
need to make the best use of it.
