Abstract: This article analyzes the evolution, progress, and hurdles of usufruct farming in Cuba since its inception in 2008, as well as its impact on agricultural output, exports, and imports. It contributes to the existing literature based on the results of a field survey that provides the principal socioeconomic characteristics of usufruct farmers. The study concludes that despite some progress, Cuba’s usufruct contends with substantial challenges that limit its growth and potential economic contributions. Addressing these challenges is of the utmost economic and strategic importance for usufruct farming to achieve tangible improvements and raise the living standards of the Cuban people.
