Currently, Cuba is facing a food shortage, which begs the question, how come Cuba can't grow all the food that it needs for its population? In which ways is the blockade preventing Cuba local food? (lemmygrad.ml)

Farming has the most chance of failing.

Cuba being a small island nation probably doesn't have rich soil for agriculture.

The Soil is probably not arable or the weather is not right. With crops a million things need to go right and even if they do, it can fail if it suddenly drizzles at the wrong time of the year. So i guess it is a combination of this and a lot more things that make farming unfeasible.
