metadata.value: Despite the fact that agriculture is one of the oldest economic activities, this industry is constantly
  in the process of transformation and the speed of these changes is growing. However,
  these transformations are taking place in diverse ways in different countries and regions
  of the Earth. The article examines changes in Cuban agriculture that occurred after 1990 in
  connection with the collapse of the USSR. The disappearance of the Soviet Union from the
  political map of the world was not the only reason for the beginning of transformations in the
  Cuban economy, but it became a trigger for reforms in all sectors of the national economic
  complex. As a starting point for the study, the development of the agricultural sector of Cuba
  until 1990 was analyzed and the principles of economic policy implemented in the country to
  overcome the crisis that arose in the industry in the 1990s. The article examines changes in the
  spatial specialization of crop production in Cuba in recent decades, for which the Localization
  coefficients of the cultivated areas. This coefficient was calculated for the main agricultural
  crops (sugar cane, bananas, citrus fruits, fruits, rice, short-cycle food crops and forage crops)
  and their dynamics for period 1989–2016. Since 1990, there has been a diversification of agriculture
  in Cuba with an increase in the importance of food crops. According to the results
  of the study, it can be concluded that the changes that have occurred in the structure of sown
  areas and their territorial distribution are associated with the need to provide the population
  of Cuba with food. This led to a reduction in the cultivation of export crops and changes in the
  specialization of agricultural production at the level of provinces.
