Cuba digs into market appetizer

Products in highest demand include chicken, flour and rice

HAVANA - Along one of Havana's busiest avenues, a renovated warehouse now houses a place that has long been a dream for Cuba's private sector.

The first wholesale market on the island, known as Mercabal, is currently providing large-scale food deliveries to non-agricultural cooperatives (known as CNA) in the city but soon plans to expand services for private workers in the country.
