I'd say every component. In 2017, I spent 2 weeks in Cuba, divided between Havana and Varadaro beach. Food, was universally pretty bad, from high end restaurants, to bodegas. Trade embargos have real effects. ...they just can't get a majority of ingredients. The govt wants to export quality stuff...the garbage stuff stays in country. For example....it was REALLY hard to find orange juice anywhere, even though oranges are prevalent. Seemed like a Russian version of Tang would be all you could get for "orange drink." Even out in the countryside, the food was just very, very limited. Meat is a rarity...most live on beans and rice.
