Cuba returns to sugar high | Chicago Tribune

Cuba returns to sugar high Chicago Tribune: "JESUS MENENDEZ, Cuba -- Several years after downsizing what was once Cuba's most important business, authorities have reversed course and are expanding the sugar industry to take advantage of the high global price of sugar and growing demand for ethanol.

Ulises Rosales del Toro, Cuba's sugar minister, said last week that he expects sugar production to increase at least 25 percent this year and has vowed to triple production to 3 million tons in the next few years, according to Cuba's state-run media."
