About Cuba

The Republic of Cuba comprises the main island of Cuba, which is the largest island in the Caribbean, the Isle of Youth and about 1,600 cays and islets. It is situated 145 kilometres south of Florida and the capital is La Habana (Havana). Tourism has been developed into the principal source of foreign exchange, while sugar, tobacco and nickel are important exports.

The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector employs around one-fifth of the working population and contributes 7 per cent of GDP. Industry (including mining and construction) accounts for about 30 per cent of both employment and GDP, while the services sector employs half the workforce and contributes 63 per cent of GDP.
