Agriculture in Cuba has played an important part in the economy for several hundred years. Today, it contributes less than 10% to the gross domestic product (GDP), but it employs about 20% of the working population. About 30% of the country's land is used for crop cultivation The inefficient agricultural industry in Cuba has led to the need to import large amounts of beef and lard.[citation needed Cuba now imports about 70–80% of all the food its people consume[3] and 80–84% of the food it provides via the rations to the public. The rationing program accounts for about a third of the food energy the average Cuban consumes.
