The vast majority of Cuban families rely, for their food intake, on the "Libreta de Abastecimiento" (literally, "Supplies booklet") distribution system, instated on 12 March 1962. The system establishes the rations each person is allowed to buy through the system, and the frequency of supplies. Most of these products are distributed at the local "bodega" (convenience store specialized in distributing these rations), and in the case of meat, poultry or fish, at the local "carnicería" (meat store). Other industrial products are also included in the "libreta", such as cigarettes, cigars, matches and cooking fuels (liquified gas, alcohol, kerosene or even charcoal, depending on each person's means for cooking). Other products can also be distributed through this method, such as light bulbs and other home supplies.
