Photos of Camilo Cienfuegos and Ernesto Che Guevara, two of the leaders of Cuba s revolution, hang on the walls of the state shop Frutas Selectas (Select Fruits) in the city of Holguin. Also displayed is a large poster with the slogan, Select Fruits: the choicest of the tropics.
What is missing, though, are any actual fruits for sale, or for that matter any food products at all.
Despite this, long queues form outside, with people waiting expectantly for the shop to open to sell anything at all. We have queued for two days waiting to see if they would deliver anything, said Hilda Lobaina, a 72-year-old homemaker. The mask covering half her face did not hide the frustration in her eyes.

Among the shelves of the Frutas Selectas Food Stand in Holguín there are photographs of the revolutionaries Camilo Cienfuegos and Ernesto Che Guevara, as well as a large poster with the slogan of this State company: “Selected Fruits: the most select from the tropics.”
What is missing is fruit for sale.
Frutas Selectas is a food market that before the COVID-19 pandemic was a provider to hotels, restaurants and other tourist businesses. Now, in the absence of foreign visitors, its clients are the almost 300,000 inhabitants of this city in the eastern part of the Island.
