FOREWORD
This handbook is intended to provide a wide range of statistics of general
interest on the Cuban economy in a convenient format. Most of the statistics
cover the periods 1955-58 and 1961-67. Statistics for 1959 and 1960-the two
years immediately following the revolution in January 1959-are excluded because
of the scarcity and unreliability of information. For similar reasons, the statistics
for 1961 are the least reliable of the series shown and should be used with caution.
The statistics were obtained from a wide variety of sources. They have
been checked carefully for internal consistency and, on the whole, are judged
to be reasonably reliable. Most reliable are the statistics on foreign trade, for
which cross checks with the statistics of Cuba's trading partners were made.
The data on the production of most sectors of the economy also are fairly
reliable, those on the production and disposition of sugar being the most ac-
curate. The data on the output of manufactured products also are numerically
accurate, but their significance is impaired somewhat by a decline in the quality
of many manufactured goods since the revolution. The data on the production
of food crops in the years since the revolution refer only to state collections.
In the aggregative measure of agricultural output, however, data on state col-
lections were supplemented by estimates of consumption by farm households and
of private sales. These estimates are based on information on food consumption
for a sample of farm families and on the volume of black market food sales.
Statistics on drawings of credits extended by Communist countries were
derived from the commodity trade deficits, taking account of estimated Cuban
expenditures for invisibles such as the wages of technicians supplied by Commu-
nist countries and movements of short-term capital. The allocation of drawings
between development aid and balance-of-payments credits, however, is only a
rough approximation.
Estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) by sector of origin and by ex-
penditure category in current prices were derived from a variety of sources,
including estimates of the UN Economic Commission for Latin America that were
based on data supplied by the Cuban government. A first approximation of
GDP in constant (1957) prices was obtained by constructing volume indexes
for each sector of origin. These estimates of GDP were then adjusted downward
on the basis of independent estimates of GDP for 1965-66 by expenditure cate-
gory in 1957 prices. The adjustments were applied to the estimates for industry
and agriculture (both excluding sugar) and for services-which are most sub-
ject to upward bias.
Although the overall classification of this handbook is SECRET/NO
FOREIGN DISSEM, some of the tables are unclassified. Therefore, each of
the tables carries a footnote which specifies the classification.

basis by applying the factor 92 parts refined to 100 parts raw. Because the production data in this table refer to calendar years, they
differ in some instances from the data for crop years in Table 6.
d During 1961-67, virtually all of the production in this category consisted of blackstrap molasses. In 1955, 1956, and 1958,
however, between 30 and 55 percent of production was accounted for by rich inverted molasses plus a small volume of syrup.

? All data in this table are unclassified. Data for imports are those reported by the importing countries. In most cases, these
figures differ little from the export data reported by Cuba which are shown in Table 29. Data for re-exports were estimated as
follows: for those countries having net exports of sugar, all sugar imports from Cuba were regarded as re-exported; for those coun-
tries having net imports of sugar, all sugar exports were regarded as re-exports and the share of Cuban sugar in these re-exports
was estimated as that proportion of the countries' total sugar imports obtained from Cuba. Data for imports are rounded to the
nearest five thousand metric tons and data for re-exports are rounded to the nearest ten thousand metric tons.

deficit occurred.

then. No reliable figures arc available on the extent of either
unemployment or underemployment.

labor force. Since 1962, large numbers of persons have been
recruited each year from other sectors of the economy for
short periods of work in agriculture.
