New incentive-based management system in Cuban citrus

The new incentive-based management system used throughout Cuba’s Citricos Ceiba agricultural production cooperatives is based on a “finca” of around 15 hectares of citrus.  The maintenance of the trees in each finca is overseen by a particular cooperative member, whose income is tied to the finca’s production.
