==============================

Cuba is the most westerly of
the Greater Antilles and lies
about 140km south of the tip
of Florida. Cuba is as big as
all other Caribbean islands
put together and is home to a
third of the whole West Indian
population. The climate is
warm and generally rainy, and
hurricanes are liable to occur
between June and November. The
island consists mainly of
extensive plains, and the soil
is fertile. The most important
agricultural product is sugar,
and the processing of it is
the most important industry.
