Controversy over the degree to which Cuba has diversified its economy away from sugar monoculture typically pivots on statistical fluctuation in sugar export concentration or the sugar industry's share in the economy. This note suggests that the controversy is somewhat moot in that if Cuba were to achieve its sugar price and production goals, sugar would be a greater component in the Cuban economy. Because Cuba has consistently fallen short of sugar price and production objectives, statistically observed diversification is not sufficient evidence for a conclusion of successful movement away from monoculture.
