Cubacafé was the state enterprise created after the 1960 nationalizations to manage Cuba's coffee sector, and like many Cuban state entities it issued its own internal wage supplements — notgeld in all but name — to incentivize production quotas on collective farms and processing facilities. These stimulus bonuses circulated only within the enterprise's own network, redeemable at designated company outlets rather than through the general banking system.
The Ministry of Agriculture connection places this squarely in the early-to-mid revolutionary period when agro-industrial enterprises routinely issued scrip as a labor management tool, before tighter centralization under the Banco Nacional reduced such parallel instruments.
