      You need money to buy that and having no oil is basically a death sentence for a somewhat modern economy like that of Cuba. When the Soviet Union collapsed and that limited oil shipments to Cuba, there was a serious food shortage in the country. This was without the US actively stopping oil tankers from reaching the country.
