Reply to an article in the February-March 1938 issue of the Revista, 
pointing out that the lack of credit is the cause of all the Cuban 
farmer* s misfortunes. The financial backers, when they handle, as in 
the last three seasons, a volume of 1,400,000 lugs of tomatoes, only 
advance the small farmers $100,000.

This is the text of a memorandum submitted on the planned revision 
of the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and Cuba. The 
section (pp. 18-19) which deals with fruits and vegetables, points out the 
need for concessions in the fruit and vegetable industry. Figures 
compiled on tomato production for the past season and submitted by the 
Asociacion de Coaecheros-Exportadores de Frutas y Vegetales de Cuba 
are given. These show that the price received in New York allows a 
margin of only about 26^ per lug for sowing, rent, and other expenses 
of producing the crop, after the costs incurred in putting the product 
on the American market are deducted. These costs are listed, and the 
way the Cuban farmer has managed to export under these conditions is 
explained. Suggestions are made for reduction of the tariff.
