The resistance of the nylon bag that the market clerk kindly gave me to carry my products constitutes reliable proof of the imbalance between the quantity and the price of the products that I was able to take home for 155.00 pesos: a handful of tomatoes , cucumbers and guavas, and a bunch of bananas.

If it seems enough to someone, I allow myself to disagree because the prices of the state agricultural markets (MAE by its Spanish initials) are irrational, taking into account that the products are not imported (although the cost suggests that they are and, in many cases, the quality continue to be a joke for the consumer). They are cultivated in the surroundings of the cities that we inhabit or a few kilometers away. Besides, the providers do not apply abusive prices to the Agricultural Collection Company during marketing.

I return to my comment a few days ago and reiterate the absurdity of selling a cassava at the value of four pesos a pound in full harvest and in a province whose riches also come from agriculture.

Inconsistencies were noted during the most recent government meeting, including the tendency to adhere to the prices that were capped during marketing; and the environment of insecurity and distrust caused by the excessive rise in prices in the state and non-state sectors, suggest the need to “fertilize” the mentality of those who set prices so that the performance can be equal to or greater than that of the red ferralitic soils that feed us, although now the food seems distant.

At home, the streets, social media..., claims are expressed that require evaluation and attention, because the Ordering Task, in all its dimensions, is a flexible process that allows us to make corrections along the way, if we are able to "listen to the opinion of the people ”, as the Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, recently suggested.

There are actions that do not admit delays or justifications, as it is indicated by the dynamics of a country that does not renounce the well-being of its people, not even in the most complex circumstances. By the way and, in case someone did not internalize it, the term ordering derives from order, the one to which Raúl summoned us to win the economic battle and guarantee the vitality of Socialism. In a speech that we could call a classic one due to its ability to transcend in time, the also First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party accompanied that term of others that we should not neglect either: discipline, demand and control.

The Ordering Task, as the country's highest leadership recognized, "constitutes the most complex process of updating the Cuban economic model" by involving transformations and the consequent resistance to changes, because human beings are animals of habit and we adapt, I could ensure that we even accommodate ourselves in a way where the State (formed by ourselves) assumes a burden that becomes unsustainable.

In this context, there can be no misunderstandings; timely communication is urgently needed, act with extreme sensitivity and remember that, as an old proverb says “Vox populi, voz de Dei” (“the voice of the people, is the voice of God”), which means that the collective will must be respected.

I dare to say that a majority understanding of the task has been achieved, based on the processes of interaction with the people, as a result of the correct and accepted leadership style of our top leaders. However, some pieces still don't fit into this puzzle because they seem different from the rest. It is urgent to find the ones that fit to continue advancing in the "game".

El Portal Avileño said it recently on its Facebook profile: “It was a meaningful appreciation made by Marino Murillo Jorge at the work meeting that took place in Ciego de Ávila this Monday, February 1st, as part of the work system of the highest management of the country. The Head of the Implementation Commission of the Guidelines pointed out that there has been a tendency to go to the maximum prices of the products in this central province and the work of conciliation with the producers has not been done, which has had an impact on the increase of prices to the population”. This does not admit clarification.
