Abstract

As a result of accelerated training of scientists and engineers beginning in the 1960s and substantial state investment since the 1980s calculated at about USD$1 billion,[1] Cuban biotechnology has become a major player in the Cuban economy and successfully established its place in the global market. According to a World Bank report, Cuba has the capacity to meet about 80% of its domestic demand for prescription drugs and had achieved annual biotech exports of around USD$100 million in the 1990s.[2] A recent Ernst & Young report puts exports of biotech products at USD$300 million in 2005.

摘要

由于 20 世纪 60 年代以来科学家和工程师的加速培训以及 20 世纪 80 年代以来约 10 亿美元的大量国家投资，[1]古巴生物技术已成为古巴经济的主要参与者，并成功在全球市场上占据一席之地。根据世界银行的一份报告，古巴有能力满足国内约 80%的处方药需求，[2]在 20 世纪 90 年代，古巴的生物技术出口额达到了每年约 1 亿美元。安永的一份最新报告显示，2005 年生物技术产品的出口额为 3 亿美元。
